Probably not the best spot to post this - but a mod will be by shortly.
My suggestion would just be to play.
Open it up and play. I wouldn't do anything with layers if you're just starting out.
Go to Google and type in Beginner Photoshop Tutorials. Hundreds of websites will come up.

I don't think there's any reason to spend money on a book, there's already so much great stuff on the net. Whenever I find a good tutorial, I just save it in a Word document.

ok ill try that, im not one to buy stuff so evan if someone recomended a book id proably try to find a e-book

People sell books on Amazon second hand if you don't want to pay the price of new ones.

I am horrified how much half inch thick computer manuals cost. In Borders (British Media shop, books music etc) a half inch thick manual on HTML coding costs £59.
For a book?
lol

I don't think it's the book your paying for. It's the knowledge contained within that's expensive.
Look at uni textbooks, or school textbooks for that matter... Ouch! Then have a look at the latest novel out.

Here's some links I've found that might help out the original question:
www.spoono.com/photoshop/tutorials/
http://graphicsoft.about.com/od/photoshoptutorialsbasic/

Lots of info on those.

Scott Kelby writes the best Photoshop books imho, and has some that are geared towards the digital photographer. It's always a good idea to just type "photoshop tutorials" into google.

Here's a site I found that has heaps of Photoshop Tutorials (over 8000 actually so that should keep you pretty busy)
http://www.good-tutorials.com/

Some of the links are dead but there's so much stuff here you're bound to get some ideas. Just don't get distracted everytime you go there like happens to me.
