Unitentionally I was refering to a private joke by telling you about my ONE BOOK. Rather stupid by me refering to something you couldnt posibly understand. I might as well let you in on the joke. It refered a little story about a couple of brothers who inhereted a fine book collection. They turned it down, because they had a book.
Thank you Godfrey, for not giving up on me on this topic ;-) I'm selling a lens now, a dustcollector. I'm talking about 400USD, so I might turn the cash into some of the recomended reading.

Bruce Fraser/David Blattner, Scott Kelby and Martin Evening have all published well-written books on using Photoshop CS2 from a photographer's perspective (several at least for Scott Kelby). Some parts are technique oriented ("do this to get that result"), some parts have a more 'reference'/theory perspective. Which would be best for your particular learning is hard to say. I have a couple of Scott's books, one by Martin on Lightroom, and all of Bruce Fraser's books. In particular, I find Bruce Fraser very illuminating and interesting. I don't read any of them exhaustively in a sitting, I tend to skim and look up specific things that I want more clarity on. I often look up how to do something, read a bit to get some context, and then experiment with the ideas having the book open on my desk.
