Thanks for the advice everyone, which unanimously suggests that I should return the books
Thanks for the suggested titles + links as well.
Er, I haven't read Martin Evening's book on Lightroom yet Graham

In fact, I have somewhere around 8 books on photography + digital imaging that I've bought but haven't read yet

I seem to have a thing for buying these books, but don't actually get down to reading them

Oh + I've also got 9 similar books out of the library at the mo' ... had these for about 6 months - that's a lot of renewals
Edit: Silkstone, I have Paint Shop Pro ... and Elements ... and Serif PhotoPlus ... and now CS3 ... I seem to have a thing about collecting photo editing software too
