Interconnections, Second edition (ISBN 0201634481) came out a few months ago,
and is even better than the first edition. Radia's humorous writing style makes
the topic easy to understand. I buy a copy for each of my new staff to help
them understand what's really going on in a complicated network.
My autographed copy is proudly sitting next to my routers in my lab.
