I picked up Adobe CLassroom in a Book from Amazon.com and I am upto chapter 9 now. I knew Photoshop a little but was no expert. This book is very good and comes with a CD with the examples. I think the book covers everything that Photoshop does.
Not having seen this book, I can guarantee it doesn’t cover everything that Photoshop does. 🙂 Here are some books I would recommend.
