 Chock full of info November 19, 2009

I think this is an outstanding resource. I am still in the midst of reading it, but there is so much information in this guide helping you learn how to make the most of Lightroom. From learning the keystrokes that make your workflow more efficient to understanding the best ways to correct your images in Lightroom, Kelby uses practical examples to help you understand the tools that Lightroom offers. I would definitely recommend the book.
My "Go To" book for Lightroom November 18, 2009
V. Frerichs (Mission Viejo, CA United States)
I purchased a few books to help me with using Lightroom, but this one is by far my "Go To" book when I have a question about Lightroom. This is the first one I reach for and the only one I really need. I enjoy Kelby's style of writing and the easy way he explains things. It is thorough and comprejhensive. This is the one and only book you need to understand LR.
 tht Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 book for Digital Photographers November 10, 2009

Very comprehensive, yet a with sensible organization. Written in a "down to earth" style that makes it more like a conversation with a friend rather than a reference book. That makes some of the drudgery parts of Lightroom more fun. Illustrations are many and relevant.
Scott Kelby is a knowledgeable and effective author. Good job.
You will keep this book on your desk October 28, 2009
George Koszalka (Chapel Hill, NC USA)
I purchased this book knowing Kelly's writing style from previous books and wanting a baseline understanding for what a new user must know to get Lightroom (LR) up and running. Written for version 2.0, I found the differences between LR versions 2.0 and 2.5 to be minimal and thus this book met all expectations. I was moving over 15,000 images into LR and setting the program up correctly to incorporate this library was easily accomplished using Kelby's first few chapters. This book, coupled with the videos by Chris Orwig ([...]) provided a sound understanding of the program. If you are just getting started with LR, these two sources together will provide the information to generate an efficient workflow and maximize the utility of LR in cataloging and processing images. Kelby's book still sits on my desk and is filled with page markers for quick reference, much like his other books on Photoshop that sit above my desk.
Amazing guidance October 18, 2009
Primus2112 (Northbrook IL)
The step by step from start to finish is great. And the book size is great as it is wide and able to spread on the desk while learning in lightroom 2 on your PC / MAC. That is one of the great things about this book as some books are just hard to hold and keep open while learning steps.
