Try the handbook entitled "Managing UUCP and USENET" by Grace Todino
and Tim O'Reilly.  It's the best book that I've had the chance to run into 
about how uucp works from an overall perspective as well as from a detailed
file-by-file breakdown of the two most common types of uucp, including 
HoneyDanBer UUCP. This publication is available from :
  O'Reilly and Associates
  981 Chestnut Street
  Newton, MA 02159
 
UUCP is also discussed in less detail in chapters of the book "UNIX System 
Security" by Wood and Kochan and in the book "UNIX System Administration"
by Fiedler and Hunter.  Both of these books are published by Hayden Books.

Naturally, I have nothing to do with any of the authors or publishers discussed
above, except for the fact that they now have some of my money... :-)
