Since I have rarely worked with Photoshop, this book was perfect for getting to know the tools and how they worked. Each lesson was step by step; you were given an image of the end result and the pieces to start with. I will be hanging on to this book as a reference for the finer details that I will not work with on a daily basis.

5 Stars Great book
Very clear and easy to use you want to learn CS3 this is the book

5 Stars Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac
As I am a newbie to photoshop elements, I found this tutorial to be outstandingly clear and informative. As the title suggests, it is essential training. It will get you up and running using the program. Since Photoshop Elements has so many features that simply cannot be covered in a single 8 hour video.[...] I look forward to purchasing it when (and if) it becomes available.
