A while back I posted an inquiry for info about USENET/uucp books.
I received quite a bit of mail, but there were only 3 books which were 
recommended to me.  Thanks to all who responded
 
USING UUCP AND USENET from O'Reilly & Associates is a simplistic but 
very useful introduction to the topic.  Contact the publisher
at 1-800-338-NUTS.  ISBN 0-937175-10-2
 
MANAGING UUCP AND USENET from O'Reilly & Associates is a more advanced 
book which concentrates on the administrative aspects of running a
uucp/USENET system.  Contact the publisher at 1-800-338-NUTS.
ISBN 0-937175-09-
 
UNIX COMMUNICATIONS from Howard W. Sams & Company  seems to be THE 
definitive guide to USENET and uucp.  IF I HAD TO PICK ONE BOOK,
THIS WOULD BE THE ONE.  Contact the publisher at 1-800-428-SAMS.
ISBN 0-672-22511-5
 
Finally, the following book was listed in the appendix of UNIX COMMUNICATIONS, 
but I have not personally seen it:
 
Stigliani, Joan.  UUCP MANAGEMENT GUIDE.  Masscomp Computer Corp., 
1985.
 
 
USENET is also a good source of info about itself.  Check out these
