The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)
Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski
New Riders Press, 2008
Yes, get this guide!
While very comfortable with Photoshop Elements, each time you upgrade there are changes and it is hard to keep up with them all. This guide cuts right to the chase and it is very easy to follow along. It was very helpful in getting me right up to speed on PSE 6.

The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters (Voices That Matter)
Joe McNally
New Riders Press, 2008
Get it.
If you already know a bit of lighting and photography basics, you'll love this book. If you don't have a clue but you'd like to learn, this book has a lot to teach, but not specifics, its more about the broader vision that's behind all those little things. Great and ...

Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography
David D. Busch
Course Technology PTR, 2007
Great personal look at the 40D
This book covers a lot of what's in the owners manual but presents it in a personal manner that makes for much better interpretation then the owners manual.
It's easy to read and even entertaining something you can't say for the Canon owners manual and rightfully so ...

The Digital Photography Book
Scott Kelby
Peachpit Press, 2006
Sense of Humor Required....
What a fantastic book. I really cant say enough about how much this book just stripped away all the B-S and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Sure, I have other books to tell me all the background details (which will take years of study to master) but in the mean ...

David Busch's Nikon D300 Guide to Digital SLR Photography
David D. Busch
Course Technology PTR, 2008
Contrary to some reviews, this is a good work!
This is indeed the best book I have found on the D300. Although I am an amateur, I have owned a D100, a D200 and now the D300. I use a D40X as a backup. I use Photoshop to review and enhance images. So I'm not new to digital photography.
In general, all DSLR ...

Peachpit Press, 2008
Very helpful for beginner and Intermediate Photographer
I brought volume one and two at the same time.
Volume two is an extension (not update) of volume one. The same comments apply. See below.
This is probably the best how-to photography book I've ever read. This covers only a few topics that general consumers are ...

The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)
Scott Kelby
New Riders Press, 2007
the best straightforward approach to learning it
Kelby is the best. If you want all the mind-numbing explanation of what makes something work in PS, go elsewhere. But if you just want a guy to walk you step by step through how to get results fast without a lot of hassle, buy everything you can by Kelby.

Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual
Barbara Brundage
Pogue Press, 2007
Well worth the cost
This book is well worth the price. In fact, the brief mention of getting the camera RAW converter plug-in from Adobe and instructions on how to use it was worth the price of the book.
Not only that, but the author provides her email address in the front of the ...

Sports Illustrated: Athlete
Walter Iooss
Sports Illustrated, 2008
Superb @}->---
There is a reason that Walter Iooss has had his work on the cover of SI almost 300 times - it's because his work is incredible. I love sports, coffee table books, and great photos and that's the three reasons it took for me to buy this amazing book. Over the years ...
