There are alot of great books and internet sites on The Gimp. I personally have read the book Grokking the GIMP by Carey Bunks and have found it to be an excellent resource. It is becoming slightly dated because it was written with an older version of The Gimp. However, Bunks also presents many fundamental concepts to image manipulation. Each concept is backed by a complete example using The Gimp.

All of the images used to create this example are also found on this site, which are originally distributed in the public domain by NASA. A whole library of copyright free images can be found here:

    More Pictures on Less Paper

    Jason’s got a detailed explanation of how to print a digital photo collage. Basically it tells how to use the Gimp to get your pictures ready to print for one of those big collage frames with all the holes in it. Pretty cool idea.
