adobe.tv in the first instance. Julianne Kost has some great videos there.

Books : Martin Evening or Scott Kelby have publications on both items of software. My preference is for Martin Evenings approach, but that's just personal

thanks for the recommendations thus far. i have lr 4 and cs5.1. is it worth going for a book based on cs6 or should i go for a book on cs5.1

Also just go to 'Youtube' and type in LR3 or LR4 tutorial & CS5.1 or CS6 tutorials. Then follow your nose.

I've got the Kelby Book for LR3 and it's simple to understand. And I agree that Julianne Kost's videos are worth a watch too.

for total novices to PS the Dummies Guides to PS are a good starting point

Scott Kelby is good for getting you started with LR. Then all you need is to spend some time with it

I used Scott's LR4 book and it is great.
