Phil, if you have some experience with programming or some scripting language (e.g. I've done a bit with JavaScript) AppleScript will be really easy to pick up once you read through some other people's scripts and get an idea of the syntax, objects and commands. For more information on any particular object or command, I find the best thing is to Google Apple's AppleScript language guide. I've given you the link to their introduction, but it's often easiest to just Google what it is you're trying to do and include the terms AppleScript language guide. Then once you're on the page just do a VO-F search for the particular term you're after.
Another great place to check out is Mac OSX Automation. They have a beginners tutorial on AppleScript, as well as more advanced tutorials on using AppleScript with iWork. For even more basic stuff, I also came across this tutorial but I didn't read through it very carefully as by that stage I had got a handle on the basics.
