Thanks for the help. I liked Photoshop mama and found the tutorials helpful. Found Ames book,The Art of Photographing Women, its well reviewed, so looks like that will fit the bill. I'm also looking at Lee Varis's book "Skin,The Complete Guide to Digital Lighting, Photographing and Retouching Faces and Bodies",which was also well reviewed.

Thanks again.......
