Adobe Photoshop CS3 One-On-One
I use this book for advanced Photoshop classes. It's a full-color book with TONS of visuals and extras from a well-known Guru, Deke McClelland. A great add-on to a basic or andvanced class (or individual user).




InDesign CS3 Revealed (Thomson)
I recommend this for a slightly 'beyond beginner' user. I use this to supplement my courses on InDesign with some different and very cool lesson material. This is another gorgeous full-color book with lots of good visuals.


The Adobe Illustrator CS3 Wow! Book
Wow books are very cool, however, in my own teaching and learning experience, I find that they are great for the 'intermediate' user. There are plenty of cool tricks, but sometimes the instructions for those tricks can be a little unclear or vague for the novice.
