Excellent companion
This is a great book. Well thought-out, easy to follow and written with photographers in mind it shows you how to get the best out of Elements. Many books tell you how to use techniques like maks, layers etc, but don't actually show how they can be used to enhance your creativity. This book does both as well as giving tips on work arounds (eg using the dust filter in conjunction with layer blending modes to avoid loss of sharpness)and is all the better for it.
