Even though this is a long book, it a great book and contains a lot of information.
The book starts off with understanding the WireShark application and how you can customize the application to make it easier to find out what you are looking for. After that the book jumps into basic analysis and what features Wireshark has (Follow TCP Stream, Expert Systems, Graphs, etc) then dives into the nuts and bolts of popular protocols like HTTP/FTP/DNS/ARP, and the second edition include IPv6 which is great book. This is a great example of a company keeping up with technology.
I will say however, this book is not for the faint the topics are pretty advanced and the case studies go over certain scenarios however. There is also over a GB of extra information such as packet captures to compliment the book. So if you put in enough dedication you'll be able to master Wireshark.

The second edition covers a lot of the fantastic new features available in Wireshark 1.8+, while not ignoring the functionality of earlier versions. The book covers configuration, capture/display/colorizaton rules (with excellent examples), easy navigation tips, and in-depth analysis and troubleshooting hints for the most common protocols. Lots of free downloads at the book's website - commented trace files (discussed and analyzed in the book), profiles, and videos. Well worth the price!
And don't forget Laura's insightful (and always comical) comments and asides that make her such a superb presenter. They're all here, too. This is no dull, dry technical manual.
I also recommend the test booklet, even if you're not planning for certification. Trying to answer the test questions identifies the most important material in the book, and helps cement the material in memory. Again, well worth a few extra bucks.
