The book "Beginning GIMP" by Akkana Peck is really good and always close by me when I'm using Gimp...which is pretty often these days. Akkana shows a lot of examples in her book and explains them in a way that is easy to understand. You can quickly be using the same techniques and will feel like a pro. For example I wanted to show someone the measurements of a large mug I was using to lather my shaving soap in. I photographed the mug and added lines and text layers by the lines to show approximate diameter and a few other measurements. It took about 10 minutes and the result was an instantly usable photo for a potter. I learned how to do it by checking Akkana's book. It has a reasonably good index and you can quickly find the subject of interest.
