Steve Caplin's Photoshop Tricks
Art and Design in Photoshop: How to simulate just about anything from great works of art to urban graffiti
Amazon Price: $19.92 (as of 05/31/2012)
Steve Caplin is a Photoshop MAGICIAN. I keep getting these books as presents for my mom, and then reading them over Christmas trying to soak up as much as I can. These are fun, usable lessons on how to simulate various effects. ALL his books are great, by the way -- and as an added bonus, his spoof movie posters, magazine covers, and other examples are hilarious!
