Outdated, but still useful:
Quite frankly, with the advent of CS3, this book is out of date.

Un benknownst to me the actual version that I needed was the deluxe Education edition. Who Knew? As far as a text book...its really no different than any other written aide, which is why I do whatever I can to avoid text book. If you really want to learn a software program use something like Total Traing DVD... more info
