I've also been partial to the Photoshop 5.0/5.5 WOW book. I've never seen the 6.0 WOW Book (or even know if it exists to be honest.) .sig by Weadah.

Well, I suppose if you're just looking for the everything type book your best bet would be to go with the Photoshop Bible. I've also been partial to the Photoshop 5.0/5.5 WOW book. I've never seen the 6.0 WOW Book (or even know if it exists to be honest.)
