Might also start with the OSPF Design Guide on the web:
<http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/1.html>
Then move on to the great books mentioned. I am partial to Halabi, but to
be honest, I have not read the whole Moy book, and his name is on the
RFC.... :)
If the sites are reasonably close together, you do not need that many
areas, but it might not be that bad an idea either. If the b/w is
congested on the WAN, you'll probably wanna keep the areas.
