O'Reilly's "Internet Core Protocols" is listed at 28.50, which may be
more palatable, and you can almost certainly find it cheaper than that.
Megabyte, for example, are doing it for 21.99. Order online at:

	http://www.megabytebooks.com/

or if you work in Colt's Beaufort House office, there's a Megabyte shop
in Aldgate Barrs.

To be honest, while all this might seem a bit simplistic, it's because
TCP/IP is, at the end of the day, not that complex. People charge a
*lot* of money by managing to convince others that it is, but any
half way competent geek can learn the entire subject in a very short
period of time.

All the information is in the RFCs, but it may help if you have a
guide that shows how the various parts interact. The O'Reilly book
is a good option for this.
