Summary: Makes a complex software program a bit easier
Comment: I got rid of both the full-fledged Photoshop and PhotoShop Elements from my hard drives, so I'm a biased reviewer. The programs are needlessly complex and counterintuitive, but this book is helpful. I tried PhotoShop Elements 5 and got rid of it, too. Too slow, too stupid. But the "Dummies" series is helpful if you want to invest in the learning curve.

Summary: A Dummy on Photoshop for Dummies
Comment: I have six books for Photoshop Elements 3. This one is the best of the lot. Written so I can understand it. Unlike the others, this one does not assume that I am already an expert on the program. If I knew what the others assume I know, I wouldn't need their books.
Let's hear it for the Dummies.

Summary: Buy the book to learn more.
Comment: I've had Photoshop Elements for some time but was only scratching the surface on what it could do. This easy to read book has shown many, many functions to me that has made the money spent on the software much more of a value to me. I've jumped around chapters to focus on what was most important to me. Don't feel you need to sit and read cover to cover - start with what you want to learn. At times a boring subject the authors fit in humor.
