This really isn't a book for Photoshop beginners; it isn't one of those all-in-one Photoshop bibles or a Photoshop for Dummies. Instead, it is designed for people with a familiarity with the program who want to see the process by which some top-flight designers develop their work product. It focuses less on providing an overview of the program's functions and more on how those functions are actually utilized in preparing real-world designs. The slender book (it's all of 92 pages) provides images and accompanying text in a stylish, eye-catching manner. As it showcases a dazzling array of artistic expression, it simultaneously illustrates the amazing possibilities available with digitial image manipulation.

Hey Junior, would a link back to my review kill ya? Unsufferably unsubtle hint. :-)
It's an amazing book. We had similar experiences.

Sir, yes sir!
Actually, I meant to run a BC search because I knew someone else had a copy, and forgot; correction to be made. :)
I also enjoyed the other titles in the "Designers Notebook" series as well (actually, I think I might have liked "Illustrations with Photoshop" even better).

Yeah, I can't believe they could afford to send all three out to, as far as I know, three of us.
No complaints though. Love e'm for it.
