Photoshop CS5: The Missing Manual Review

I have been teaching Photoshop for five years. I've read over 5000 pages of various manuals and books and finally there is a clear, comprehensive, and, most of all, complete book for Photoshop CS5. It's all there: how to do it, where to find it, and why to use it. There are more than enough clear color illustrations and links to additional on-line information. Ms. Snider presents it all with a sense of comfortable knowledge and a sense of humor. All the information is thoughtfully laid out with step-by-step instructions on how to use each command. This Missing Manual goes beyond just photography and clearly presents Photoshop CS5's illustration and web applications. This is the new "buy-this-one-book" for all my students.
