What are we talking about, installing a networkk, or making cables? Making
cables is a waste of time, you can buy 10' cables with RJ45s on each end
for less than three bucks. If you are talking about stringing CAT5 thru
walls and ceilings, a book won't help a lot. What you need is a roll of
cable, a 24" long 3/8" drill bit, and a step ladder. Or you can call an
electrician and tell her/him where you want the wires to terminate.
The electrician can also put the connectors on. But if you want to do that
yourself put OG/WT on pin 1, OG on pin 2, GN/WT on pin 3, BU/WT on pin 4,
BU on pin 5, GN on pin 6, BN/WT on pin 7, BN on pin 8. You can buy a tool
for installing the RJ45 connectors for about $22.00. The wall plates have
punch down strips in them, tool about $3.00
Have fun!

There are probably real books, but I learned the little that I know from
talking with an eletronics distributor and getting some catalogs from him
that have LOTS of info in them about various wireing configs. I don't have
them at hand right now but seems like the Black Box catalog also has some
stuff in it. The ethernet howto has wiring diagrams for common ehternet
scenarios, including a crossover ethernet cable.
