Logic Pro 9 for a beginner

I enjoy musical compostion and have used Finale Print Music in the past before I made the move to Mac. One of the first purchases I made was Logic Pro. At first glance I thought I might have made a mistake. It is obviously a very capable program and I would like to learn to use it. I am a total beginner with Logic Pro and I was wondering if anyone knew of a book or two that explains the program in detail at a beginner level. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

This book has a CD with examples and walks you through the most utilized areas of Logic: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Peachpit-Press-Apple-Pro-Training-Series-Logic-Pro-9-a-/ 350622328097?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item51a2b82521

However, there are a ton of examples on YouTube - just search.

Right. I have the PDF User Manual but I tend to use it more for reference. It assumes that you are beyond beginner IMO. I just can't make much sense out of it.
