It is available from the MacMillan Book Club (1-800-257-8345 - sorry, no address handy). Volume 1 covers the OSI interconnection model and osi-related standards Volume 2 covers local network standards Volume 3 covers the DOD protocol standards It sounds like volume 3 would help you (although there is much to be learned from the other volumes) I hope this has helped!
