First, he has special, non-screenshot illustrations to make clear the concepts he describes. Second, all of his illustrations are on the page where they are referenced; unlike most books of this genre, you will never have to turn the page to see an illustration being discussed on the page before. Third, Monroy has the incredible ability to fully explain complex concepts in a way that they make sense.

If he were not such an superb artist, he's be a great trial lawyer! Equally important, Monroy's book is fun to read, not only because of the passion he brings to his art, but also because that passion is infectious--you will bring the same passion for perfection to everything you do, both in and out of Photoshop. Photoshop has a very steep learning curve. For those on the plateau part of the curve, still climbing but with most of the rough clambering behind, Monroy's book is one of the three very best; the other two are Dan Margulis's "Photoshop LAB Color: Scott Kelby's many books are very helpful, especially for the Photoshop novice, and Steve Johnson's "Photoshop CS4 On Demand" is a great ready-reference tool for a user's manual that Adobe has, sadly, relegated to hard-to-navigate on-line "help" files.

Adobe, itself, has some marvelous video tutorials, on its AdobeTV site[ All that said, Monroy's book is one-of-a-kind; it is as if Michelangelo had written a book explaining his step-by-step approach to his art--it would be a great book for even non-artists. I'd give it 6 stars, if I could! Photoshop is an application of such vast and varied potential it would be impossible to encapsulate it in one book.
