This book is easy to understand and concise. It is a good starting point before taking a class on this topic. If you are studying for the Network+ I would endorse reading this book before you take on the TCP/IP chapters. Although it does not explain the OSI model in its entirety and it is older, it is a good starting point and a keeper for future reference.
Great reference

Brilliant introduction to TCP/IP for beginners

As an IT student, i found purchasing this book gave me the perfect introduction to TCP/IP and how it is applied to various aspects of networking, FTP's, Mail servers, the web etc. today and also what to expect of these services in the future.Dr Paul L Schlieve does an excellent job of introducing the above subjects in a manner which is easily understandable, even by a complete beginner.Very higly recommendable!
Very Good Introduction to TCP/IP

When I picked up this book, I didn't know anything about TCP/IP. A few hours later when I finished this short book I could recognize simple TCP/IP jargon like "kerberos" and know what's basically going on. Like it says, this book is intended to be an intro to TCP/IP before tackling a bigger book on the subject. It does the job beautifully.If you don't know a thing about TCP/IP and want to learn about it, I highly suggest reading this book before moving on to a more in-depth book.
