First, this is a reference book, not a step-by-step lesson-based text or "cool tricks cookbook." It's great for looking up and learning about specific features of Photoshop CS3. It's **not** a book that promises to teach you everything you need to know about the program, nor is it designed for classroom use. If you're brand new to Photoshop, start with one of the beginner lesson-based books, or a task-oriented book such as "Teach Yourself Visually Photoshop CS3.". Then, after you have a basic foundation in Photoshop, you'll find "Photoshop CS3 for Dummies" to be your key to truly understanding the techniques you learned in the lesson-based book.

Next, I'd like to suggest that you indeed use "Photoshop CS3 for Dummies" as a reference book. Flip to the table of contents or the index, find a topic about which you want to learn more, open to that section and start learning. Sure, you might be tempted to start at the beginning and read straight through (hey -- you wouldn't miss any cartoons or jokes!), but that's not how this book is designed.
