It's an excellent book. Each time I pick it up I get a new idea, which for
me is a good measure of its usefulness.

I bought the edition for Photoshop 6 and it's great. Well written and a
lot of fun information. However, it doesn't deal much with what I really
do with Photoshop - photo editing and retouching work. Have a good look
through it and decide whether it contains information you're interested
in (as opposed to impressed by). If so, it's a good buy.

I have the PS7 version. It's excellent - fun, and a great source of good
ideas. I don't class it as a 'learn PS here' type of book, more of a 'learn
some new secrets here' sort of thing.

I personally think it is an excellant book, mostly for special effects,
borders, collages. Comes with a companion cd with lots of extras.
