Reddit reviews SOLIDWORKS 2016 Tutorial with Video Instruction

Just to give you an idea of what a class would be like, this is the textbook for my local college's SolidWorks classes (year adjusted). I would suggest starting with the included tutorials first as they are quite good, however. There's not much difference between the two, so unless you preview the book and prefer that style of writing, there's no compelling reason to buy any additional material at the beginner level. As I've progressed, I've found certain topic specific texts like The Solidworks Surfacing Bible to be helpful, but that's probably a ways down the road for you. There are tons of tutorial videos online as well, but be warned, the quality can vary from really good to terrible. I would suggest grabbing a beverage of your choice and watching a few of them to see which person makes the most sense to you. Besides those, many of the various Value Added Retailers usually make their webinars available online, and there are some nice tips and tricks in them once you get the basics down; just as an example, I really didn't spend a lot of time setting up the Shortcuts menu before, but having seen how much quicker it is when used by someone who has spent some time learning it, I've become a convert.
