Before concluding it is dry, do get a sense of the way Jeff writes
chapters. I was the reviewer for his OSPF chapter in Volume I, and
asked him about what I saw. His preference is essentially to extract
from RFCs and other references in the first half of a chapter, and
then start discussing them in detail in the second half. I never
found his second half especially dry, but I also can find IETF
protocol specification interesting.

Seriously, I'd be curious what you consider not-dry in explaining
protocols at the CCIE level. Now, I try to be entertaining throughout
in my own writings, but there are often technical concepts where it's
hard to find amusing analogies.
