Lightroom 3...need a good giude book

[photostar_1]

Hi! Having just upgraded to LR3, I have decided it's time I learned how to use it properly, as most of my time with LR2 I was just guessing and I'm probably one of those who only ever manage to discover 20% of the functionality! I know there are great tutorials on-line, but I like a book that I can read anywhere and annotate with scribbles and Post-It's etc.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

PS Happy belated New Year!!

Martin Evenings book for me, it is comprehensive, well written and easy to read/follow with good pictures.

Yup, Kelby's excedllent book for a straightforward guide, and Evening's for a dryer but more in-depth treatment.

Also highly recommended, Victoria Bampton.

Just purchased the Scott Kelby book and find it very easy to read. For me the thing about Scott is he comes across as a real person and adds humour to his style and not just someone who is lecturing you.
Also, I find that one persons style may not be to everyones liking so look through as many online video tutorials and see who's style works best for you then take it from there.

Thinking of getting an iPad one day and trying other books on the kindle app though.

HTH
