Surely the definitive work on IS-IS is Radia Perlman's _Interconnections_? Bridging and the spanning tree are covered there quite nicely as well. The original problem we had with IS-IS was that nobody had a CIDRized version. I think that's why. Maybe the split is earlier? I'm not sure. Huitema doesn't say anything in his book.

It may be a bit late to suggest this, but please keep in mind for the future an alternative text, entitled "An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking", by Keshav.
An excellent book. A bit hard to fit your course around it, but it gives a very different take on the subject.
Interesting that you put ISIS as an emerging rather than past protocol.
I work on ISIS here - it is seeing new life as a routing protocol that is much simpler, but as powerful as, OSPF.
