CRICUT DESIGN SPACE FOR BEGINNERS: UPDATED: A step by step guide to design space; how to use every tool and function, with illustrations, and screenshots (tips, tricks, and basic keyboard shortcuts)

I received this today and it took all of 20 minutes to read it. It is a self published document (hardly can be called a book) with many grammatical errors and misspellings. As example, in one place we are told to look in the "Conner" of the program window. Obviously spell check recognized the word as a name and capitalized it, but didn't recognize it as the misspelling of the word corner. The manuscript is double spaced with large margins - otherwise it would be little more than a pamphlet. In some places our attention is called to the red highlighted portion of an image or the green "a" in the projects list image- only all images are black and white. Many of the images lack detail or are too small to see what is in them. Additionally it is a superficial overview of the program - with little to no details or examples of what each is or does or, for example, if the action can be "undone" once applied (a weld cannot be undone, for example). Everything covered in the book could be easily learned by just exploring the program interface and it's help menu. There are no sample projects.

The book does cover the basics of Cricut operation, but honestly the grammar was so bad (Cricut is not capitalized ever and is spelled wrong at least once) it detracted from whatever knowledge I might have gotten from it. In the chapter about slicing, slicing is spelled slit, split, and I don't know what else. Hard to follow instructions if the commands are spelled wrong.

This book is a total waste of time. The explanations were repetitive, unclear and I found several grammatical errors in the first few pages! The screenshots were so blurry and minuscule I couldn’t read them. Do not buy this book.

As others have said, the spelling and grammar errors in this book are atrocious and very distracting. I'm not sure what the author used to write it, but running a basic spelling/grammar check in Word would've fixed a lot of problems. Also, before I gave up on deciphering the writing, the author said something along the lines of, "There's this great feature that allows you to do XYZ and all you have to do is turn it on!" without how to actually, you know, turn it on. Complete waste of my $3.25.

This is to me a editors edition, not one illustration in book, just words, no page numbers, useless to me, sorry but I just do not believe this is high enough quality to recommend to anyone.

Not a good purchase. It has misspelled words. Only black and white. Suppose to be highlighted in red

Still reading it. Book needs to be edited. Too many grammar errors.

Needs color photos and glossary of terms. Helpful for a start using Cricut Design Space

Exactly as advertised
