Richard,  I am not positive that "The Elements of Networking Style" is still
in print, but I think so.  I bought my last (paperback) copy through our
campus bookstore about 2 years ago.  The details:

Padlipsky, M. A., "The Elements of Networking Style and other essays and
animadversions on the art of intercomputer networking", Prentice-Hall
(Englewood Cliffs, NJ), 1985, ISBN 0-13-268129-3, 0-13-268111-0 (paper).

A thoughtful and witty book, with chapter titles like "Slaying the 'TCP-on-
a-LAN' Woozle" and with most chapters starting with Prefatory Afterthoughts.
A classic defense of the ARPANET Reference Model against the onslaught of
the ISO Reference Model.
