Photoshop Elements Manual

I am new to photoshop elements as well as being somewhat of a neophyte to organizing photos and editing same.  My plan is to put together a scrapbook for each of my 4 children.  My question is:

Since the newest version of Photo Elements (the 2019 version) does not appear to have any sort of manual yet ..... would it be a safe bet for me to get the manual for the 2018 version to at least start the process of organizing photos?  Is the 2019 version that much different from 2018 that I couldn't use it to at least get started?

Thanks in advance for any help received.

    There is not much new, so using the manuals for the 2018 version would be very good.

    Thanks to all who have responded.  It is truly appreciated.  I will take a look at all of the options recommended ......  However, does anyone have any advice on the best manual 2018 or 2019 for a neophyte such as myself?

    There are a number of other resources that are available to learn the program.  Things have changed slightly between 2018 and 2019.  However, both programs have direct links to tutorial articles and videos.

    You should also take a look at the Guided Edits that are available.  These provide you with step-by-step instructions for editing a photo, from basics to some sophisticated effects.  They are a great learning tool.

    Have a look on Amazon. There is a 2019 print version of "Photoshop Elements for Dummies"  at a very reasonable price.

    Download links for most Adobe manuals can be found at ProDesignTools' website

    Don't know why Adobe doesn't have Adobe-authored 2019 PDFs available but ProDesignTools does.
