There's a lot of art in protocol analysis.  Though Ethereal makes finding faulty apps much much easier.  Some *MUST* reads are:

1)  Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated (assuming you're using it for IP)
2)  Syngress Publishing's book on Ethereal is good if you want to learn the mechanics of using Ethereal.
3)  Mark Miller's Troubleshooting TCP/IP is good as well.
4)  Comer's TCP/IP book is also quite good.
