Make use of Amazon and snag these:

TCP/IP Illustrated:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201633469

Network Intrusion Detection: An Analyst's Handbook
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735712654

Intrusion Signatures and Analysis
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735710635

Now, granted they aren't "light" reading but they are excellent.  TCP/IP
Illustrated will become your friend.

Cheers!
