I found this book to be easy to understand and very helpful.
I don't usually read books on software, but, Adobe did a good

This book is very well laid out and full of useful information. Written by one of the people that developed the program. Highly recommended.
Rating: - Complete, Well Written and Easy to Follow
I am using this book in a school setting and I enjoy it. It has all of the details for students from the basic overview to the intricacies of the various modules.

If you want to get into Lightroom this book can get you going quickly!
