That paper by Mark Newman has been cited in over a thousand papers. (WOS entry below)  And he also cites the Egghe-Rousseau book which, although out of print,  is available on the web. EG

Abstract: Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks, and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques and models to help us understand or predict the behavior of these systems. Here we review developments in this field, including such concepts as the small-world effect, degree distributions, clustering, network correlations, random graph models, models of network growth and preferential attachment, and dynamical processes taking place on networks.

Dear Gene,

many thanks for your advice to HistCite.

Years ago I read in the book of Egghe & Rousseau about Derek Price's paper. 
Later I found Mark Newman's 2003 review (see below) very instructive with 
regard to the exact solution of the Price Model. He is one of the physicists 
which cite this paper. He shows that the Price model is much better than the 
famous Barabasi-Albert model.
