This isn't specific to OpenLDAP but it might be helpful http://www.onlamp.

Overall LDAP is one of those things that is really simple at its core but
is severely hurt by its lineage in X.500 and the unfortunate use of
terminology that resulted from that. There are also several books out that
cover LDAP and associated protocols. Netscape also should have a lot of
LDAP information available and since Netscape Directory Server and
OpenLDAP both developed from the University of Michigan LDAP server the
concepts are very similar. This is especially true for NS Directory server
prior to version 3 so many of the older articles in this area can be
applicable. I used to do a lot of work with LDAP including OpenLDAP and
people always seem to have a much more difficult time with it then the
technology really warrants.
