FAA equivalent of LASORS?
I am looking for an FAA document which is similar to the CAA LASORS where I can find information on licensing for both PPL and CPL level such as requirements and allowances against training requirements for already having different levels of flying experience.
Many thanks!

The FAA regulations are part of the Title 14 of Code of Federal Regulations. The specific regulations governing pilot certification will be found in Part 61.

FAR/AIM
There's nothing in the U.S. quite as bad as LASORS 
. You can get a publication from various sources called FAR/AIM (Federal Aviation Regulations/Aeronautical Information Manual). Like most things from the FAA, they can be had free of charge to us non tax paying foreigners online at : Handbooks & Manuals
The AIM part is particularly useful.
I have a paper copy from ASA that I like; many other brands are available. I also have a CD from King that I have never used. The FAR/AIM books are updated every year, so get a current one. Things do change.
PS - I am not American or British, my opinion is completely my own.

The "FAR/AIM" is a commercial publication, not put out by the FAA...and it must be purchased. It includes *some* selected parts of the regulation, as well as the Aeronautical Information Manual.
If you wish to view the AIM online free or charge, you may visit: Aeronautical Information Manual
If you wish to view the regualtions online free of charge, you may visit: Electronic Code of Federal Regulations:
The specific subsections, or parts, of the regulation you'll want to visit are Part 1 for definitions, Part 43 for maintenance requirements, Part 61 for certification, and Part 91 for general operating rules.

It tells you everything you need to know

And at $15 good value for money.
A good intro at the beginning that tells you which bits you need to read if you're a PPL, CPL etc.

LASORS seems to be a collection of rules which cover areas which have been delegated to the CAA to make up as they wish. The real rules are in the ANO, or the Civil Aviation Act.
The FAR/AIM is different. It is a simplification of the FARs (but a legally valid one, AFAIK).
The FAA also used to have an FAQ on their website, written mostly by the author of the FAR/AIM, John Lynch, but they took it down c. 2004. I still have a copy. It was quite good for various things.

Marmalade:
1480, from M.Fr. marmelade, from Port. marmelada "quince jelly, marmalade," from marmelo "quince," by dissimilation from L. melimelum "sweet apple," originally "fruit of an apple tree grafted onto quince," from Gk. melimelon, from meli "honey" + melon "apple." Extended 17c. to "preserve made from citrus fruit."
(not, unfortunately, from 14CFR)

The AIM is an entirely separate publication, also simply reprinted and packaged in the same physical binding.
The "FAR/AIM" is nothing more than a reprint of the regulation and the aeronautical information manual...both of which can also be had at no cost online, if one wishes.
