Try _SNA Theory and Practice_ by Anura Guruge.  Published by Pergamon
Infotech Lmt., ISBN 0 08 028583 X.  It is available from Computer Literacy.
A good overview of SNA, except that it is too old to cover some of 
the more recent things such as LU 6.2.  But still highly recommended.
A new one that just came out is Systems Network Architecture: a tutorial
by Anton Meijer.  Published by Pitman Publishing in Grate Britin and
John Wiley & Sons, Inc in the U.S.A.  ISBN 0-470-21015-X.  I havn't
read it but it does cover the newer features of SNA such as LU 6.2 and
some of the related architechtures such as SNADS and DIA.

We (Communications Solutions, Inc.) also offer a series of seminars and
reports covering a varity of SNA related topics.  If you want more information,
email me your paper mail address or call us at (408) 559-1118 and ask for
Information Services.
