Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows: The Missing Manual
Pogue Press, 2009
Excellent Book
The title says it all. When you buy Photoshop of any kind, about all that comes with it are the installation instructions. The book does a nice step-by-step job of explaining the various tools and their functions. It's easy to follow and has lots of illustrations.

Correct Spelling! :)
Love her style of writting and the way she isn't affraid to tell everything like most other celebrities. She's able to laugh at herself and because of that you get drawn into the book in a way that you normally wouldn't. Great read. Easy read. Won't dissappoint!

Opinion of Book.

Outstanding!
Treason is a no-holes-barred novel that jettisons political correctness that will keep you glued to your seat from the start. The intertwining storylines are spellbinding, and yes, this novel, released in 2005, does predict Fort Hood. An absolute must read!
