You shouldn't waste your money buying the "raw" UN/EDIFACT standards, because they're free at http://www.unece.org/trade/untdid/ as Tracey Robertson noted. But more importantly, you shouldn't waste your time trying to read them unless you're an EDI software vendor or a standards developer, since the EDIFACT standards are far too general and open-ended. They'll do you very little good if you have real work to do in exchanging real messages with real trading partners. Instead, you'll need customized guidelines pertaining to your own industry, such as EANCOM for retail, ITIGG for shipping, EDIFICE for the electronics business, and so on.
