I'm not a big one on those traditionalist dead tree writings (books),
but I remember browsing over some computing books in a store in Thailand
a few years back on vacation and seeing a very good book on OSPF with
appendicies on most of the other routing protocols, which was quite
unexpected.

A quick amazon.com search comes up with:

   OSPF: Anatomy of An Internet Routing Protocol

Which looks familiar and sounds like the one.  From memory it didn't say
a thing about how to configure OSPF in routers, but that all flows from
knowing how the routing protocol works anyway.
