This looks like it (I recognise the authors) but I would've had the first 
edition, and my ex-supervisor is no longer at work:

     https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Deploying-LDAP-Directory-Services/dp/0672323168/ref=zg_bs_69960_25?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZWNJQSFWS5ARJEG469XN

You may have to strip off tracking codes...

I see there's also an O'Reilly book, but it's an admin guide so presumably 
basic knowledge of LDAP is required.

It most certainly is not; it's optimised for searching (with complex 
patterns) and reading, not for writing.
