Re: b&w photoshop

It's a good question....what is a good Photoshop book for 
photographers.  Fact is only 20% of the contents of most of the books 
I have looked at are useable by most people on this forum. The other 
80% are "special effects" most here would seldom use and more 
appropriate for a graphics artist. What has the greatest percentage 
written for a true digital darkroom user, particularly for black and 
white - something that delves more into more than just the basic 
digital equivalents of silver darkroom techniques?

George DeWolfe has a CD on workflow that looks pretty interesting. I 
assume it has a little more than what he excerpts in Camera Arts. Has 
anyone bought it?
