The book Lucene In Action: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=1932394281&tag=xdea-20&inde x=blended&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 has been invaluable, but its written for a much older version of Lucene. It is still pretty much required reading if you want to delve in deep.
After this, the Lucene-User list has been invaluable: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/mailinglists.html If you ask a lot of n00b questions though, expect to see responses such as "Have you read Lucene in Action?", but generally people are very helpful.
