It is part of the rainbow series, so called because the various reference books, all on the subject of computer security, have different colored covers - e.g., Orange Book, Red Book, etc.). They are available upon request from the National Computer Security Center, 9800 Savage Road, Fort George Meade, Maryland, 20755-6000. A university library might well already have a copy, possibly even a full set of the rainbow series.
