I like Adobe Photoshop for Photographers by Martin Evening. He has a lot on
layers, actions and automation and it's really well written. I had seen an
excerpt from it last November and pre-ordered it. It finally came in late
April and it was worth the wait.

Here's a description of it (through my affiliation link):
