Summary: New! Updated for Lightroom 1.1
Comment: This book was wonderful already, but now Mr. Kelby has updated it for the recently-released version 1.1 of Lightroom. Buy the book here, then go to http://www.peachpit.com/register and enter the ISBN number (on the back of the book, or see above) to download your free update. Have your copy of the book handy to answer a question. Like the book itself, the update is easy to use with clear explanations and examples.
And if you like this one, you'll like his Digital Photography book, too. Lots of good information, clearly presented.

Summary: Best Lightroom book available
Comment: I am a serious ameteur photographer shooting in RAW format and using Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Camera RAW. I just purchased Lightroom when I found out the price was going up $100.00. (Got it for $199) I own and love Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 book, and as expected, this book is more of the same. I have a decent library of photography books, but these two are my favorite. Kelby's no-nonsense step by step explanations for any and everything you'll want to do couldn't be any easier. He even makes me laugh sometimes, and it's fun to read. Not the typical boring textbook reading. Just simple,exactly what you want, clear explanations with all the settings he uses and why. Anyone-of any level-could do anything in this book with ease. Just buy it already and look no further.

Summary: Inimitable Kelby
Comment: This book follows the same humorous easy-to-read style as his books on Photoshop. Contains step-by-step instructions, with explanations why something is a good idea or is being done. I found the explanations easy to follow and helpful. The book also contains two example workflows for different styles of photography.

Summary: Using Lightroom
Comment: Scott Kelby is without doubt one of the best authors and instructors for all things photographic. Although Adobe Lightroom has been available in Beta version for a couple of years, it was recently released as Version 1.0 ( V 1.1 is reported to be released "soon"). Lightroom is nothing short of being a beautiful digital image workflow management tool. Of all the Adobe programs, it is probably the easiest to learn and most intuitive of their entire line. If you are new to Lightroom, Scott's book is a must inorder to learn and appreciate the power of the program. If you have used the Beta versions, as I have since 3.0, the book is a must.
What sets Scott Kelby's book apart from other Lightroom texts is his teaching method and clear explanations. Unlike, say Martin Evening's Lightroom book, Scott does an actual shoot then walks the reader through the entire management process including involvement of some images in Photoshop CS3.
Along the way, the reader picks up many tricks and tips on features of Lightroom that aren't generally known or explained clearly in other available books. Although the book is designed to be read from cover to cover to truly appreciate what Lightroom is and isn't, the book also is an excellent reference for those who have some comfort level using the program.
I would strongly recommend Scott's book as your first choice if you are using or are considering the purchase of Lightroom ( say, versus Aperture ) and want a clear, concise learning tool in your hands.

Summary: AWESOME!
Comment: This is THE book. Buy no other! Ok, well you can buy others but this is the one that puts it all together in very simple terms. Kelby knows how to get the point across clearly. You need to add this to your library.
