The guide is always he same... it's Derrick Story's "Photoshop companion for Photographers", a no nonsense guide meant to help the photographers to tackle most of their problems with ACR, and leave the minimum to Photoshop.
The photoshop chapters were a bit useless for me, but the rest is a marvelous approach to the DAM with Bridge and the corrections with ACR. It helped me a lot, because I was pretty lazy with sorting my images, and it makes things a lot easier just following the steps. In addition the book is pretty small and you can put it in your handbag (for the ladies) and read it anywhere. It's a reference.
I have neither DxO nor capture one. I just spent a bit part of my money on Photoshop, and that's all...I could also have bought Nikon capture or whatever...But as I don't have a DSLR (no, father Christmas haven't been kind to me, I was on the naughty list), I don't feel the necessity to buy this. The day I'll make a decent money out of these so-called skills, I'll maybe making some investments.
Oops! Doug Kerr might still let you in! Besides, he's a pretty good lone sailor! Look at his sheer breadth of contributions here. He loves people but knows how to read the stars and navigate alone and lead the way for others.
I've been said that women were not allowed on ships anyway. He might be the guy to breed (it's an image) with my husband. Making statistics out of everything (eg. the number of grey Porshe cayenne per mile during the portion from Brighton to Chichester according the day and the time of day, or how many players left our Poker league after 2 attendances in the past 2 years, and the percentage of them are 1-women, 2-first time winners 3-Internet players...etc). It's borderline to OCD to me... We plan, if we can to visit Bletchley park, so you know what kind of amusements are awaiting. (I don't bother anyway, I am just moaning by habit)
Alan Turing a milestone....

Bletchey park
