If all you need is to know what's new - you need nothing more than the manual that ships with Photoshop.

I like Adobe's 'Classroom in a Book' series for ease of use and general learning.

Re: Photoshop 7 book recommendations

Photoshop 7 comes with another CD which has videos explaining exactly what the new tools are and how to use them.  if you didn't get this CD, get your reciept, box and serial number and call adobe.
