The best I've seen is USING UUCP AND USENET by Grace Todino and Dale Dougherty.
It's published by O'Reilly & Associates at 632 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol, CA
95472.  Phone 800-338-6887 or 707-829-0515.  It's 199 pages for $21.95.

I don't think this book is perfect.  It leaves out some Internet specific items
like ftp and telnet.  But it's the best I've encountered.
