These are my choices of books to help a beginner.

Elements 7 Classroom in a Book
Elements 7 Book for Digital Photographers
Elements 7 Maximum Performance by Mark Galer
Elements 7: Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks

Has anyone used any of these Books?
I need one for a idiot...and his wife.

We really need one that explains things step by step.

Thanks Guys & Gals

Did you try the library for Elements 7 The Missing Manual?

No sure if our small library would have it, but I still want a book we can keep by our computers.
Thanks

A good thing about libraries is that you can often have something sent to your library from another in its system. We do this all the time. It's the ultimate try before you buy situation. Borrow as many of these as you can get then buy the one(s) that work best for you.

Sounds good Mel I'll try and see if they can do that later this week.

I have the Scott Kelby book for Elements 7...Amazon.

I agree with Spotmatic. I too, have the Kelby book. I like his writing style and his humor and the instructions are step-by-step and logically arranged. Highly recommended!

i like scott kelby's books so i will probably get his elements 8 book when it comes out.

i do recommend going to a bookstore like B&N and flipping through some pages to see if you like the material and writing style. i hear you can even buy books there

(i haven't bought a book at an actual bookstore in ages so the concept is a bit foreign to me now

I've got both Scott Kelby's book and the Missing Manual. Both are good but I have used Kelby's more often. I like his cookbook style.

I own both "Elements 7 the Missing Manual" and "Elements 7 Classroom in a Book". The "Missing Manual" is good for how Elements 7 works, but not so good on a particular process. "Classroom" is better at particular processes, but not so good at how the whole thing works. I find the two equally useful but for different things. Because of the type of learner I am I prefer "Missing Manual". But I use both.
