Photoshop and PageMaker Rookie

[mahav]

What is the best way to learn how to use Photoshop and Pagemaker 6.5? I am interested in learning what I can on my own at first. Is this a good idea and what tools and programs are best?

I've always liked "Classroom in a book" for this type of thing.
may be a bit pricey though.

I have found with many web-based photoshop tutorials, they concentrate on one specific subject, and assume you already know the basics. And there's almost zero stuff for PM on the web. If you want a more general introduction to the two programs, and a cheaper option than the Adobe CIB books, are the 'Visual Quick Start Guides' (Peachpit Press) which are about 1/3 price of the Adobe books.
