Avoid disappointment, choose a different book
When I first used my new Cricut Explore Air 2, I followed the basic instructions, but wished there was more written, not only in digital form. I looked briefly for a book I could use to help me walk through basic steps of a new Cricut project, and this book’s description made it appear perfect.When I opened the book, I was quite surprised. It was many pages of information, double spaced, with almost no graphics or illustrations to demonstrate what is being described. Chapters had titles, but pages had no numbers, so information is difficult to locate again if you wish to find it after leaving the book.A user a Cricut wrote of how this works for her, and ways she thinks you can use this well, it looks more like the author wrote a paper about using a Cricut, printed it double spaced (without page numbers), then bound this as a book. With a cover similar to a Book about the same topic.I’ll be returning this book - I purchased the similar-looking one, and it is indeed what I had hoped this book would be.

Had to select a star but deserves no stars at all!! Biggest waste of money EVER!!!
First, there are no page numbers - what book has no page numbers?! Then I got to the SIXTH word in the introduction to find an incorrect word (supper instead of super)!! Although the purported author is Carolina Peterson, the true author has absolutely no command of the English language. Finally, there was no useful information in this book - everything was covered in the manual that came with the machine. And the "projects' included in the book were quite cheesy! I absolutely believe any positive reviews of this book were PAID! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Very little useful information.
This is more a pamphlet than a book. As you see by the picture the font and excessive line spacing is stretched so that there's more paper to bind. Even as a beginner myself, The only useful information in this book may be how to hook it up to your PC or tablet, when in reality when you purchase the machine the flash cards you get when you purchase the machine, actually help more. Don't waste your time or money.

Simplistic at best
Disappointing. It's hard to say how many pages there are since there are no page numbers. Very minimal formatting, no illustrations, all lines are double spaced and wide margins on the roughly 5x7 pages. Yes, it's a small book, looks like self published I guess. I'm returning (ours arrived damaged) and looking for something more substantial.

Disappointing for the beginners looking for a good reference go to book.
Very disappointed, I got this for my wife who is a teacher. 1 it didn't come with any pictures to help with understanding what you are trying to understand reading. More of a setup book and keep referring to blogs. Far as setup anybody can set it up, pretty common sense.. Don't need a book for that..

Great Information in a Poor Presentation
The information in this book is good, but the organization is lacking. Margins are wide and line spacing double what is necessary. There are no page numbers or organized Contents page. Section titles are in light gray instead of bolded. If the layout of this book were improved it would contain half as many pages, yet a professional publication.This book also needs Spell Check to correct the grammatical & spelling errors starting with the first line of the introduction. Finally, in the description on the purchase page, the P.S. tells the buyer the Kindle version is free with the purchase of the hard copy, but there are no instructions for downloading and no where to contact anyone to find out how to download it.The information is too good to push it out in such a hurried format.

Waste of money....
I purchased this book to help learn about how to use our new Cricut explore air 2, and it was incredibly disappointed. The information presented in this book was not helpful and the book itself seems like it was never even edited! It is full of poor grammar, and spelling mistakes are everywhere. There are no pictures in the book and the tips presented assume that you already understand how to use the Cricut. Definitely a disappointment if you are looking for a good introduction guide. I definitely would not recommend this book.

False advertising
This book was a huge disappointment. The description stated it has 103 pages. I thought that is a pretty good size book. When I received it, the entire book was triple spaced! What a waste of space just so the author could say it has over 100 pages.! Also, this book is supposed to show you how to make projects with Cricut Explore. There is absolutely no (0) illustrations within! I glanced through first chapter and found it to have numerous spelling errors. What a waste of money. I returned it promptly and will be careful not to purchase another book by this so called author.

Small book , good info
Nice small book. Good quality paper nice clear text. Information is nicely laid out.One thing I didn’t like was the amount of paper that was wasted. As you can see from my picture, the text is centred on the page with a lot of unused space.

Don’t buy it!
An amateur book. No step by step instructions or images. Not a good learning tool for someone with a new machine. Looks like pages have been photocopied and stuck together. Amateur book.

Not as expected, disappointing, don't buy
Disappointed all it is is terms of what material and tools are called. Info on the different machines to choose from, which since i all ready choose my machine i don't need. This is not what i was hoping for at all. It is big print like a 3rd graders 1st chapter book. Only 2 pictures in it. Don't waste the $13. I will be dumping this book for resale fast. I joined a facebook group and found all this info out for free. Not to mention 1000's of YouTube video

Big disappointment
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Please note that this book is devoid of images. This booklet is all text. If you are a fan of grammar and spelling, this is not the book for you. And my question is, why does the item have a high star rating when there are so many disappointed buyers? Go to YouTube, and get better instruction free.

No diagrams
I felt there could have been some diagrams for some of the explanations.
