Adobe Photoshop CS5 Top 100 Tips & Tricks Simplified Visual Learning System book review

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470612657/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=w... This is my book review of Lynette Kent's book Photoshop CS5 Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks. I have personally used this book to help build my web site http://www.aimiecaprice.com and the review is base on my experience of the book.

The book is a quick visual learning system to help even the most inexperience photoshop user to quickly get up and running with Adobe Photoshop CS5.
