A Must Have
It pretty much covers everything, and I consider it a must have. I have seen some reviews that said this can't be used to learn Photoshop from the ground up, but that is untrue, because I used this book to teach myself Photoshop with absolutely no prior knowledge whatsoever, and it does a wonderful job of explaining everything. The only reason it may not be for someone is if they don't learn well from just reading; that, I admit, is a downside of this book. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand what they are talking about by just reading the instructions. If you are sitting by the computer though, it's very easy to follow step by step. If you choose to buy a book with lessons, such as classroom in a book, then I definitely recommend this book as a follow-up.
A Really Great Book!!! 
After a few hours of reading I was able to use layers to make my first kool looking sig. I'm a member of an online gaming community and I was wanting to learn how to make my own "Sigs". I also was able to use Photoshop for all the graphics on my web site. If you want to learn to use Photoshop, then this book is a MUST have.
The Manual that Should Have Been.
Excellent. This is the book that should ship with Photoshop CS2.
