I just picked up a new book, "UNIX Network Programming" by W. Richard
Stevens, Prentice-Hall. It contains very detailed information on
sockets, down to the level of explaining what each of the options
does (which I've not seen elsewhere).  If you want to descend to
even greater depths, take a look at "The Design and Implementation
of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System" by Samuel J. Leffler, et al,
Addison-Wesley.  It talks about what goes on internally in the
system to handle sockets.
