Rod,
I don’t know what country you are from, but my suggestion would be to get Deke McClelland’s PHOTOSHOP CS BIBLE.
It is not yet published, but will be very shortly. I have the version 7 "Bible", and it is a superb book. It has far more info than the Adobe Photoshop manual. And even though I have the ver 7 book, I’ll be ordering the CS version as soon as it’s available.
It is absolutely the best book anywhere to learn and expand your skills in Photoshop, in every facet of the program. The ver 7 book is well over 1000 pages, and every one is very "meaty" reading.
