Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats by James D. Murray and William vanRyper (published by O'Reilly) mentions some differences and refers the reader to the Adobe Developer's Association at www.adobe.com/Support/ADA.html for further information. There is a BBS in Europe reachable through mailto:eurosupport@adobe.com; phone number is +44 131 458 4666 (this is in Edinburgh, Scotland).
The bibliography for the TIFF chapter in the encyclopedia also cites:
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/ http://www-mipl.jpl.nasa.gov/~ndr/tiff/index.html TIFF Developer's Toolkit, Revision 5.0, Aldus Corporation, Seattle, Washington (USA) HP TIFF Developer's Manual, 1988, published by Hewlett-Packard Company Murray, James. "TIFF File Format," C Gazette, Winter 1990-1, pp. 27-42.
Hope this is helpful.
