As it happens, I've recommended this book in past threads to other 
users, and am glad to see Steve's recommendations, too. Couple of points 
to mention: there are two editions to the book, the first edition used 
GIMP 2.4; the second GIMP 2.6. If you're buying it, the second edition 
is probably the one to get.

Also, the publisher used to have (and as far as I know, still does) the 
policy that if you purchase the print version, you can get the digital 
version for a nominal fee. This has proved useful to me; I've several 
Apress titles, and when I travel, I can carry a reference library on a 
thumb drive, or micro SD card, and not have to carry a briefcase full of 
reference books.

Finally, Akkana is a list member, which permits me to say, "Thank you."
