[I'm willing to write and post a "Frequently Asked Questions" article for this
list. I, for one, am very tired of seeing this question come up every week.]

There are ten volumes and more than 50 books (called fascicles) in the Blue
Book set; the ones relevant to X.400 are:

	Fascicle II.6	F.400-F.422, F.500	$17.00	(Services)
	Fascicle VII.5	T.65-T.101, T.150-T.390	  ?	(Telematic IPMS)
	Fascicle VIII.4	X.200-X.219		$49.90	(ASN.1, RTS)
	Fascicle VIII.5	X.220-X.290		$54.60	(RTS, ROSE, ACSE)
	Fascicle VIII.7	X.400-X.420		$68.70	(MHS and IPMS)
	Fascicle VIII.8 X.500-X.521		$14.10	(Directory Services)

Call for current prices before you order. They accept personal checks, money
orders, and VISA or MC; no purchase orders.

Obviously the most important is VIII.7, although you can't do anything without
VIII.4 and VIII.5. I don't have VII.5, and don't know if it is necessary.
