I found Radia P's book to be a little whiney and dry. Try Virtual LANs:
Construction, Operation, Utilization by Marina Smith, then if you are still
thirsting for knowledge, try Radia P. Get the concepts with Ethernet,
surely the easiest way to grasp L2 stuff, then you can master the concepts
to other L2 technologies.
