While I, too, prefer interactive books to videos, and applaud the suggestions offered here, I wonder if you would consider another option that may be available to you if you live in or near a large city.
I suggest you check the Adult Ed (also called Continuing Education) courses that may be available at a nearby college, or the local community center. Check their sites to see whether Photoshop courses are offered and their description of course content. These classes provide the opportunity to work at a computer as you cover the material, proceed in a logical sequence and ask questions during each session.
Some instructors offer email assistance when an assignment has you baffled. In addition, you will meet people with a similar interest and probably form a mutual-aid network when the class is over. Avoid the One Day cram courses. They are usually worthless.
(In he spirit of full disclosure: The Adult Ed Photoshop courses I taught at a college in NY met for three hours on 8 consecutive Saturday mornings. I suspect other colleges have a similar setup.
