Like most things, you have to work hard and go pay your dues somewhere. Books? Just there to make the authors money, surely you know that!

There are some great books...but they only scratch the surface...practice, experiment...continue leaning...then practice some more...

A great retouching/restoration starting point would be:

Adobe Photoshop Restoration & Retouching (3rd Edition) [Paperback]
Katrin Eismann (Author), Wayne Palmer (Author)

And a lot of videos available at Lynda.com:

Yes Books are a starting point and buying to many your just getting repetitive information ut eventually you need to get your feet wet and get in the business some how
