I'm not someone who learns how to use software applications from books very easily. But this is about the best book I've found for learning editing techniques in Photoshop Elements 6. The descriptions are clearly written for English speakers and not too involved. The accompanying screen shots and illustrations let me know I'm doing the right thing when I see them on my monitor. Wonderful positive reinforcement!
I also have 'Photoshop Elements 6 - The Missing Manual'; which is an excellent supplement if I want to dig in to more complexity and detail for any given Elements editing feature. It's what might be more likely referred to as a bible for P.E. 6. But, for me, it's too much to use as a starting point on its own.
Get the Visual Quickstart guide if you too like more hand holding and baby steps when trying to learn software apps from a book. It's not a condescending 'dummies' approach. Just clear and easy to follow.

Well written and easy to understand. This book will have you enjoying Photoshop Elements in very short order. I do believe this is the instruction manual that should have been packaged with the soft ware.

I have used this series of books for a long time. I like the many graphics and simple explanations. It is easy to follow and gives you the information you need to use this program.

Are you looking for a book about the Mac version of Photoshop Elements 6? Due to the delay between the shipping dates of the Windows and Mac versions, I wasn't able to include Mac-specific information in this title. However, 95% of the Windows book applies to the Mac version of the program, down to the interface elements. The major difference is that the Windows version uses the Organizer to catalog and organize photos, while the Mac uses Bridge CS3 to do the same.
So if you're looking for Visual QuickStart Guide instruction for the Mac version of Elements 6, this edition delivers it.
