What's a good book to learn Post-Processing?

[Senor Hound]

What's a good book to learn Post-Processing? I have Photoshop CS3, and before I run out and buy "CS3 for Dummies" (I love the dummy books, they were written for me...lol), I wanted to know if someone here had anything that might be a little better. I am a visual learner, so visual examples (lots of pretty pictures) help me learn faster. Also, I am looking for something that will help me really get to know the program, plus I learn computer stuff faster than a lot of other people. So a book that gets kind of complicated towards the end wouldn't bother me (in fact, I might appreciate it when I get there).

Anyway, does anyone have any advice? If not, I'll go get my dummies book, they usually don't steer me wrong (I seriously have about 15 of them...lol).

I have photoshop cs2 for Dummies and I love it. I learned a whole lot from it on how to use photoshop. I don't have another book to compare it to, but I would deffinately recomend it to anyone trying to learn photoshop.

I was at B&N the other day looking for photshop book I found: asobe photoshop cs3 in a classroom. It seems a well organized book (lesson chapters) and seems that your building up from chapter one. The reason I did not buy it is because I a photoshop cs. But you could go to your local book store and scan the book see if you like it.
here is a link to amazon for book review:
