A Photoshop CS5 book?
So I know about the Photoshop Bibles for all versions but its not really a book about it I want, I was just wondering if anyone knows or has had any books that have really interesting things to make?
For example http://www.tutorialking.eu/ has some amazing tutorials, are there any books like this about for CS5? If not has anyone used the CS5 bible; is it any good for making awesome graphics?

In all honesty... I've had photoshop books from schooling and for personal growth, and in all honesty.... some of the best and coolest things I've learned were all from free online tutorials, and other designers willing to take me under their wings.
Books that I've had mostly teach you the basics and advanced things, but nothing particularly spectacular. Stick to the online tutorials and you'll learn a lot of helpful tips and tricks, and much more than any book can offer. Of course, that's just my personal experience and opinion -- I've been doing this stuff for 10 years and I personally learned more from other photoshop users than any book I've ever had on Photoshop.
Also.... don't limit yourself by only looking for CS5 tutorials. CS5 isn't much different than CS4, or CS3 even, and CS3 wasn't much different than CS2 (except that they stopped including ImageReady with it). But sure, CS5 has some extra features and settings, and is a bit smarter than CS4 and other versions before that... but they all have the same tools and most of the same settings and features. There aren't that many "extras" in CS5 that would prevent you from being able to do tutorials based on earlier versions of Ps, so just dive in and when/if you get stuck.... we're here to help.
No questions asked, the best site for Photoshop tutorials is: http://www.learnphotoediting.link/
All tutorials are in video format, which makes them easier for you to follow along with the instructor. The videos are interactive and very easy to follow, this will help you learn piano three times faster. Good Luck!
For books on Photoshop CS5, Martin Evening's new edition gets five stars from nearly everyone:
