Check for free seminars on creativelive.com. Today, for example, is day 3 of a three-day seminar on post processing with loads on editing/organizing in LR. After the live broadcast, usually starting at 9am PT, the video of the day's class is repeated over and over until 9am PT the following morning for those in different time zones.

Scott Kelby's book on Lightroom is good

Scott Kelby has a good book on Lightroom. I believe you can get it at B&H photo.

I've found Anthony Morganti's youtubes to be very helpful.

I am in the same boat. I have not found Lightroom to be very user-friendly.
