Kelly, I have a book called "The Photoshop CS book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby. It one of the step by step books without indepth explanations of the theory behind everything. I think it's pretty good if you can put up with the wise ass writing style. The guy is editor of something called "Photoshop User Magazine". The book was recommended to me by one of the regulars here.

I'm not going to need it here for about a month and a half if you would like to take a gander at it. We could work out some way to get it over to you next week if you like.
