how deep in the weeds do you want to get into OSPF? do you want to understand enough just to be able to troubleshoot and bring up a new router, or [re]design the entire network?
John Moy's book should still be the standard; he wrote the RFC.
If you want to actually design a network, I still love Russ White's Cisco Press book on Optimal Routing Design.
If you just want an overview, the Cisco OSPF design guide can give you the nomenclature. Though the examples are IOS, the principles carry over.
Along with /u/totallygeek recommendations, if you're going to deploy OSPF onto a network, I would add:
Personally, I would stay away from virtual links as your abstracting what should be physical links onto harder-to-troubleshoot virtual links. I would also keep the area IDs the same as the top level network. For instance, if I was using 172.16.0.0/16 as the supernet for a building, the OSPF area ID would also be 172.16.0.0/16, but that's just me. There is more than 1 way to build a good network and as long as you are consistent on a logical design, that's what matters.
Yep! Just hanging around to see if anything breaks, really. Reading up on Optimal Routing Design for fun in the meantime.
