Let us be clear Martin Evening is a master of his subject. Unfortunately for me not such a master when it comes to presenting it in captivating manner. If you are looking for a technical book. One that explains in detail every function of lightroom and the theory you will this book. If like me however you are more interested in how to use the functions to boost your creativity the gruel is a little thin. For me best dipped into every now and then to remind yourself of the endless options.

Great Lightroom book, but here's a hint. It's much cheaper on Amazon kindle. Don't see a way to leave feedback with Google or ask for a price match, so I'm leaving this comment. I'd prefer to buy it from you, Google... but your price is not competitive.
