There is also the book by Dave Chadwick, which is much more comprehenisve
than either the Steedman or Radicati books.  I would also recommend the
(compendious) report by Andrew Waugh, which is useful because it is by an
outsider to the X.500 standards process, and thus more of a critique.
I have lost the FTP address for the report but Andrew's address is 
<A.Waugh@au.csiro.dit.mel>.
