I just got a copy of CS2 (I could afford that). From experience with
elements the manual shows you a lot and explains nothing. Does anyone
have a recommendation on books or tutorials that will teach how to do
the beginning and intermediate capabilities of CS.
I always find most books are good for total beginners or extremely
advanced and nothing in between. So suggestions would be handy.

There are countless video tutorials on the web and downloadable video
podcasts that demonstrate the basic concepts of Photoshop.
The interface has changed a bit from CS2 to CS3/4 but that should not be a
big deal.
The greatest advantage of PS over Elements is the use of non-destructive
layers for every operation and the ability to use masks to manipulate
selected regions of an image more flexibly than Elements allows.
Once you understand how to do things you may find that you can achieve
better results than the automated processes in Elements in virtually the
same amount of time.
If you look at a number of tutorials you will quickly find conflicting info
about what PS controls actually do (too many do exactly the same
mathematical operation but use a different graphical interface) and what is
the best or correct way to do something: the only right way is what works
for you.

Yea me too and regardless of the title, I'm sure there is a Dummy book
on CS2. I have the Dummy for PS CS4 (complete) and find it quite useful.
