Teach Yourself Visually Photoshop 7:
Excellent book for the beginner and average user who has not used the program for a while. Easy to follow pictures and steps no long winded text - good colour pictures, examples and inspirations. So glad I found this book available on Amazon - looked for it for a while in Australia but couldn't find a copy good old Amazon and there it was.
FANTASTIC... EASIER THAN 1,2,3:
This book was exactly what I was looking for. It's easier than taking a class in PhotoShop. The visual layout makes it so easy to learn the software.

Beginners Guide to a Complex Product:
If you have ever bought software only to be befuddled by the tombs demonstrate it, this is the series for you.
The book promises that you will read less and learn more. For the visual learner, the full colored screen shots and succinct explanations break 140 Photoshop 7 topics into two-page lessons.
Simple; direct; helpful: What more would you want from an introductory software text?
Waste Of Money!:
This book didn't teach me anything that I didn't know already. I learnt a lot more by playing around with the software. It doesn't even teach you how to do impressive special effects, like montages or TV lines.
If you have already played around with Photoshop, then you don't need this book! There are better tutorials out there on the internet and they are free!
