This is a wonderful book. Very well written and entertaining at the same time. Lots of colour photos so I can actually see what its supposed to look like and the index is very useful.
I do however, find the Table of Content very confusing so give up and refer to the index mostly. There are a few things I've noticed too that aren't explained in some of the processes. The things I've referred to are one way so some of the other items in the dialog boxes aren't explained. Ex. In the Exporting Files chapter on Page 224, Step Six explains Files settings but doesn't mention the "Limit File Size To" box. It appears to be set at 100 but why. Can it big larger or smaller?
Other than that I LOVE the book.

Excellent document, articulate, in-depth, easy to follow, and let's not forget the humor, appropriately peppered to relieve the intensity of the material. A MUST have !

Not too far into the book but it's in typical Scott Kelby style. WARNING Read the first couple of chapters about setting up your files & folders before you use the software. You'll be glad you did. Very much worth the money, this book is essential to get you up and running with Lightroom.

I have not made my way very far into it but so far so good. I like Kelby's enthusiasm although others have commented negatively at his attempmts to keep things light. Personally I don't mind a bit of humour in an otherwise potentially dry subject. Also I like his web support of his book. There are a few typos here and there which I found surprizing in what appears to be a quality publication. All in all I like it and would buy it again.

Great book. Scott Kelby's style but I found it very useful. Easy to follow. I would recommend this book for everyone who is using Lightroom 3.

Scott Kelby injects a little humour with his lessons, making them easy to follow. The book is beautifully illustrated which makes learning Lightroom 3 very easy. I keep this book near my computer and refer to it quite often for shortcuts and other features. His CS5 book is also a must-have.

I use Scott Kelby's instructional books for photography and all things Adobe. He gives clear, step by step instruction and has an amusing sense of humour that makes them more than dry text books.
If you want to learn the ins & outs of the whole program OR just learn a couple of special effects this is the book for you!

For the most part I liked this book very much, however, I wish it would show both MAC and PC screens.
