Recommend Me an Aperture 3 Book

[Designer Dale]

Lightroom folks: Yes, I used the LR trial. It's a nice app, but the deep grey used in the interface is difficult for me to read. Thank you in advance for your comments.

I have finally moved up to a professional photo management system that I hope will meet my needs as an "upward mobile hobbyist". As with most software these days, it comes with a tiny little manual, so I'm interested in asking my photo brethren/sisteren types for suggestions on how to make the most of this. I have experience with PhotoShop, which I will keep, and I'm good at figuring stuff out on my own.

Suggestions?

I'm not an Aperture user, but I can give you a more "global" suggestion that can either replace the purchase of a book or complement it. I personally find the various video tutorials out on the web (I think Apple probably produces some of their own) far better for learning purposes than a book. It's much easier to see the changes and follow along as opposed to seeing them done in a book (for me).

However, I don't really do heavy PP, so many of my tasks are pretty simple.
