    Tanenbaum is good for beginners.
    And you can't find whole 'network' in one book.
    Then you will have to read some specialized books.

    I had Data Communications and Networking by Forouzan and now have one from William Stallings but I don't find them appropriate for my syllabus.

    Tanenbaum's book is a good read.

    Apart from that, I have a suggestion for you.
    Read this, if you have interest in reading more about networking : Computer Networks and Internets (5th Edition) by Douglas E. Comer

    These were very nice books indeed! I learnt the very basics from these books. Brilliantly explained.
