Okay, you know how I always bitch about overuse of PS? This doesn't count! Personally I use PS almost exclusively for tidying up shots and haven't done any creative manipulation for a fair while, but what you've created here shows both a strong understanding of the package and a sensitive approach to the subject. The manipulation adds plenty of interest and is virtually seemless. Everyone who believes that photo manipulation means taking a perfectly good image, adding motion blur, three art filters, plastic wrap and then a nice linen texture should look at this and learn.
Having said all of that there are some things that I PERSONALLY would have done differently, not that there is anything inherrantly wrong here, just a matter of taste:
1/ Lose the motion blur. This would mean that the left hand edge of the subjects hair wouldn't struggle to get a nice defined edge.
2/ The book effect is good but I would add a layer with a graduated fill constrained to a mask around the book/face. Then by making this your top layer and either making it either translucent or using a layer mode like screen, you would have a perspective associated with the book rather than the face.
3/ lose the reflected face and just give plenty of eye space to the front of the subject. Having said that I'm looking at this as an individual image rather than in contect with whatever you are trying to say with this piece.
Great shot!

Ben, I really like this, the transposition of faces in accented by the brown streaks, the combination of B&W and color adds a considerable amount of impact to the image. What it all means, I'm not sure. She takes her face off and what? Great Work!!! ray w.
