Default Lightroom Books

OK so I have Lightroom ver 1.2 loaded. I have played but I think that I could do with a manual to get the best out of this software. Does anyone have any recommendations for manuals on Lightroom, I have looked at Amazon and they list about 6 books, these two seem quite popular.

The LL tutorial is excellent, gives hands on experience and is downloadable.

Thank you for all of your reply s, I have ordered The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) By Scott Kelby from Amazon, as I have already got his CS2 book which I find useful.

Will let you know how I get on with the book after a few weeks.
