You can get a good overview of SCSI buy sending $9.95 (+5% sales tax if you
live in Kansas -- unlikely 8-) to:
 
     C.J. Morey
     NCR Corporation
     SCSI Technology Group
     3718 N. Rock Rd.
     Wichita, KS 67226

Ask for the "What is SCSI?" book.  If you want a copy of the actual SCSI
Standard, call either ANSI at (212) 642-4900 or Global Engineering Documents
at (800) 854-7179 and ask for X3.131-1986.  The ANSI price is $25 and the 
Global price is $40 (but Global actually fills your order without having
to call repeatedly :-).

If you want a copy of the draft SCSI-2 standard, you can also get that from
Global for about $75.  They know it as X3.131-198X.
