 Helpful But Not In-Depth
This book does a fairly decent job of covering the program in it's entirety, and I did learn a few new tips.
br /
br /However, I feel as if the "Intermediate to Advanced" skill level listed on the back is a bit misleading, unless you're completely new to photography (but why would you be learning a $300 program if you're a newbie shooter?). Lightroom was designed quite well (in my opinion), so a couple hours of just playing around in the program will be sufficient to teach you ~30-50% of what's covered in this book.
br /
br /This isn't to say I wouldn't recommend it to someone just crossing over to using Lightroom for the first time, I was just expecting it to be more in-depth or advanced. I got my copy for $26.40, but I think the $40.00 suggested retail is a bit high.
 Adobe lightroom
br / I found this book to be easy to understand and very helpful.
br / I don't usually read books on software, but, Adobe did a good
br / job with making this book, very user friendly.
 Lightroom Book review
This book is very well laid out and full of useful information. Written by one of the people that developed the program. Highly recommended.
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. I especially like how the text explains how to do things and includes keyboard shortcuts. The "Note" sections in the sidebars provide context and they are sometimes my favorite parts.

br /If you want to get into Lightroom this book can get you going quickly!
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Photographers
I get Martin's Photoshop book with every new version. Now I've got two of Martin's books to get religiously, with the introduction of his new book on Lightroom,
br /
br /Alpha-tester for both Lightroom and Photoshop, Martin's a practicing photographer and his real world expertise shows in every page. That and his association with many of the top professionals in the industry including fellow PixelGenius members (Fraser, Holbert, Resnick, Rodney, and Schewe) ensures that he's up to date on the latest developments at a very advanced level.
br /
br /One of the best authors in the industry, he's clear, concise, and thorough. Graphically and photographically Martin's books have always stood out in the field making them easier and more pleasing to digest.
br /
br /This book covers almost all of the features, making it a definitive resource on the subject. You may not read the entire book (certainly not at one sitting). But you will find yourself constantly referring to it when you need answers.
br /
br /At the heart of his discussion of the tools and his practices is the notion of an evolving streamlined workflow - getting the job done well simply and efficiently. This leaves more time for making images increasing productivity. That's what Lightroon and this book are designed to help you do.
br /
br /Martin does a good job of explaining when and why you might move to Lightroom instead of using Photoshop and how to integrate the two. It's something he's done both personally and professionally.
