Excellent Clear and Comprehensive Guide - Great Value - By: J. Turner, 30 May 2008
This is one of the few photoshop based books I've bought that have lived up to their promise. As another review has said, it assumes you understand the basics of using the software. It covers the basic principles of colour channels & converting into black & white, then moving on to cover various more complex alternative techniques for adjusting & perfecting results. The book is clear & thoughfully written with heaps of well chosen examples & diagrams. I found this reallly useful in teaching me to think about the principles behind the processes - improving my understanding of colour images & my 'thinking' in black & white. This book is well worth working through.
Great Reference, For Existing Photoshop Users - By: A. Buteux, 21 Apr 2006
This book is great, but make assumptions that you already know how to use Photoshop CS2. A good understanding of photography in general is going to be helpful as well.

Covers the different methods of converting images from colour to black & white & how to get different effects.

What I liked is that it doesn't hold your hand just explains the method & then it's up to you. If you prefer a book to give you lots of pre-canned ways of doing something this isn't the book for you.
