You don’t need a book. There are plenty of free online tutorials. Google "photoshop elements tutorials". You may not find much specifically for v.6 but but it’s still applicable.

You should get the Adobe Classroom in a Book. The way that it was put to me when I asked the question was this way. Books written by a single author may not know 100% everything about Photoshop Elements.

But the Classroom in a Book is written by the people who write the program. So the person who programs "Layers" writes that section. So you get the expertise from everyone who worked on the program.

Have you looked at the Missing Manual Books? Did you realize that there is a Creative Team of 7 additional individual contributors listed in the Missing Credits section of the Elements 3 version of the manual? She is a reletively long term expert in this software.

Have you looked at "The Missing Manual" series? Thats quite useful, IMHO.

Photoshop Elements User Site and their magazine? That is a fairly reasonable source of Photoshop Elements info and tutorials (though not exactly a Photoshop elements book!)

I used PSE6 The Missing Manual, by Barbara Brundage and I was very pleased with it as a reference.
