For personal use the best sources are the UNIX Programmer's Manual, Vols 1 & 2
published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston plus a compact little book on UUCP put
out by Nutshell in the Boston area.  Nutshell also publishes an implementation
guide that likely has some information in it as well.

I have used the HRW manual set for my own work and found it adequate (there
doesn't seem to be much available on uucp) for trying to bash the sources.
At least these two sources will provide a start.

BTW, the article on Telebit Trailblazers by Mike Ballard might also prove
useful.
