Good books for Photoshop CS5?

    I just got Photoshop CS5 and would like to get a book to get up to speed on it.

    The last book I had for photoshop was for 6 and the version I was using previously was CS2 so I know the basics and would like something to teach me the more advanced parts of photoshop. I could probably do with knowing some basics and best practises though as I'm completely self thought and may be going the long way around to achieve some effects.

    I found these two books,
    The Missing manual I used this series to learn CSS and found it ok but would it be a bit basic for my needs?

    If I got that book and this one would I be well covered?
    Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Photographers: a professional image editor's guide to the creative use of Photoshop

    Apparently this book doesn't go into photoshops 3D features, whatever they are?

    It's a new product on the market (CS5) so there's probably at least some number of months before publishers will have their books truly up-to-date.
    Adobe itself probably has the only books that are actually up-to-date with the new features for the moment.

    In the end I bought both, the missing manual as with all there books is fairly basic but very easy to follow, I've read through that one and it seems like a good introduction.

    The other book is much more detailed, lot's of full colour illustrations haven't read to much of it yet but it seems much more comprehensive than the missing manual.

    Adobe's 'Classroom in a book' series is a good place to start. These books are part of the WIT's syllabus for their Multimedia degree course.
