I personally have never found a book that has been useful with Adobe programs, and I even learned WordPerfect back in the ancient days (early 90s?) of WP 4 from a text. I read manuals well but imho Adobe programs are the least intuitive of all the software programs I have ever learned, which are many.

I'll have to agree with the above posters because I would have saved myself a lot of grief had I know the lessons were here in the beginning. So very many steps are done in ways or found in places that I would NEVER have thought of. I tried with various books and achieved mucho frustration. Fortunately, I arrived on this site about then.

I also rec the video classes on line... Renee Pearson and Cathy Zielske have been the clearest for me, with a lot of zoom in and arrows and circles on the action points. hth
