We just got a copy of Managing UUCP and Usenet, from O'Reilly and
Associates, 1-800-338-NUTS.  I haven't read it all the way through 
yet, but I can see that it would have saved us a lot of trouble to 
have gotten it a long time ago.  Not to mention that we wouldn't 
have aggravated our neighbors as much.  If you're not in a big hurry,
drop me a line in a few weeks when I have actually read it.  

There is a companion volume, Using UUCP and Usenet, that I haven't even 
cracked open yet.  Both were in the 15-30 $ range.  I'm not aware of
any other books that cover the same territory.
