how to learn winsock or raw sockets? (c++)

Question

i have been googleing trying to find a Winsock book or something about networking but all i can find is out of date books or nothing at all :( so does anyone know a book i can buy to learn about networking in VC++ 2008? i really would like a book i could hold because i learn better when it's in my hand.
