I highly recommend the above books, though I slightly prefer the other
3-volume set. It's "Internetworking with TCP/IP" by Comer, possibly with
Stevens, depending on which volume.
Back when I was at a similar stage in MUD development, I was sufficiently
annoyed by the lack of good example socket code that I wrote some of my
own. I've put it at:

I've also declared it public domain code, in the hope that someone may
get some use from it.
