I find that the available books are a little difficult and slow for newcomers to learn from. Lightroom is a very interactive application, it's easier to get the base knowledge about using it by seeing it in use. Tutorial videos are a better way to get rolling, then any of Martin Evening, Scott Kelby, Mikaal Aalund, etc books work well as reference and additional depth.
Luminous Landscape has a good tutorial video set for $50. I think they're download only, they don't ship media, but you download them and can go over each one as many times as needed to learn it. Don't need to be online except to download the files. http://luminous-landscape.com/videos/lr3.shtml Other Lightroom learning resources are listed on my website: http://www.gdgphoto.com/articles/ click on "02 - Lightroom Learning Resources".
