Two books come to mind:

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers - by Martin Evening

I have not used this book but have heard only good things about 
it. Check the Customer Reviews at Amazon

Photoshop 6 Artistry : Mastering the Digital Image by Barry 
Haynes

I read the 5.5 version. Lots of great info but it  was difficult getting 
through at the time as I was fairly new to Photoshop and this 
book is more for intermediate/advanced users. Also the 5.5 
version was written in a very wordy conversional way which 
became tiring to read and confusing at times. But it was still 
worth getting through.
Best regards,
