There is a book specific to AX.25, although whether it is still in print
is a good question. The book in question is "AX.25 Packet Radio Link
Layer Protocol" and explains exactly how the AX.25 protocol works. Also,
failing that, just remember that AX.25 is the LAP-B subset of the HDLC
protocol that is defined by international standard, and one can work out
the relevant details by referring to the HDLC standard and taking the
LAP-B subset whherever a choice is presented.
For a less technical (and probably much more understandable) approach, try
http://www.rsgb.org/shop/acatalog/RSGB_On_Line_Shop_Packet___APRS_18.html
or the equivalent on the ARRL website or your national society if it has
one.

No problem.
Best wishes from Riley.
