Summary: The PS 6 Bible is a fat disappointment
Comment: I prefer to use software books as references. Many of the "Bible" books are really useful this way. But in order for that to be so, the book has to have a decent index. This "Bible" fails miserably on that count. An example: I tried to look up "Acrobat" to see if I could save a file in the PDF format from Photoshop. Adobe Acrobat files are a standard in the publishing industry these days. There is actually a page and a half in the Bible on saving as a PDF, but there is no entry for "Acrobat" or "Adobe Acrobat" in the skimpy index. The last "Photoshop Bible" that I bought was for PS 3. A lot has changed in the program since then. Versions 5, 5.5, and 6 of PS have all been major revisions, but there is relatively little new material in the PS 6 Bible compared to the PS 3 Bible. Save your money.

Summary: Looks good but it is trouble
Comment: All in all, this is a usable book if you take the time to discover essential details that are missing. As you get into more sophisticated topics you find that about 10% of the procedures described in the book do not work. Essential steps, thate could have been spelled out in a line of text, are missing and I have to experiment for close to an hour to discover what they are. The book is too verbose and could be condensed to half its size, with no loss of content. The humor is weak and adds nothing to the book; I never got a chuckle (and I like to laugh). There are no examples of creative use of Photoshop, even though this is why we want to learn the darn thing. I have used computers everyday since 1969, so I don't think that my troubles are caused by my ignorance. Unfortunately, I can't recommend a better book, since I stuck with this one and I managed to learn what I need. It is not a bad book to get you started,but you should look at other books before buying this one.

Summary: what's so great about these bibles
Comment: don't like it at all; inside photoshop 6 by new riders is 342434 times better.
i gave mine away and bought inside photoshop 6.
don't take my word for it, go to your local bookstore and peruse thru both and compare. it's obvious in my opinion. i only settle for the best.
i think this book was more of a "mr deke mcclelland trying to impress or pick up girls with his humor book." lol
i hope he got some email requesting dates with him.
and if you are a BIBLE fan by idg/hungry mind books, are you even aware of NEW RIDER BOOKS? get with the program.
