This is a _lame_ excuse.  Ebay currently has TWO of these books for sale with
no bids and an opening bid at $5.  Checking the history of sold books shows
"DNS and BIND" ranging in price from a low of 7.50 to a high of 27.99.
Granted they are older editions but the info you asked about is in there.

Used books can be had from many other sources besides Ebay, Amazon for example
sells them.

You can also check your library or a library of a university or school near
you.

Frankly, some version of DNS and BIND should be required reading for anyone
setting up a nameserver.  Misconfigured nameservers can annoy many other
people on the Internet, they are not something you set up first then learn
about later.
