I'm looking for a book that can teach me more advanced techniques in photoshop.

I can do the basics like sharpening, curves etc. but want to work more with things like masking and layers to achieve greater effects so I'm looking for a comprehensive book that can help teach me to use the full power of photoshop (CS5). I'm running mac if that makes a difference for which book you recommend...no use being taught windows hotkeys! So, any suggestions?

Something like this, Scott Kelby is pretty definitive.

Not a book exactly (Ok, it's a website), but it might be useful.

I had the Dummies guide to photoshop but found it didn't quite do it for me. I now get the advice I need from TP or Google as there seems to be loads of info on t'interweb.
