There is a company in Virginia that distributes the official publications
of several standards organizations, including CCITT (which produces the
X.400 series of recommendations) and ISO.  CCITT publishes their 
recommendations every 4 years, and this is one of those years.  The most
recent recommendations available are the "Red" books of 1984.  I purchased
my copy of the X.400 series (X.400 thru X.430) 2 years ago for about US$19.
Since I purchased that and other books from them, they have sent me 
information as updates &c become available, or at least orderable.

Here's the company's name and address:

	Omnicom, Inc.
	115 Park St SE
	Vienna, VA  22180-4607
