Inkscape for Artists - Step by Step This is a book (or course or textbook) that teaches how to use Inkscape, from the simplest beginner skills through advanced. It teaches in a hands-on manner, with over 100 exercises, or tutorials, that are richly illustrated, and accompanied by 28 videos. Written mostly using version 1.2, it can be used with any later version of Inkscape.
In addition, we maintain a website called Inkscape Friends, to which we periodically post new exercises or tutorials. And in case anyone has questions or comments, or just wants to chat about Inkscape, you can visit Inkscape Friends Forum.
A flashback?! I guess that explains the images in your gallery, hahaha!
Well, this is what I have been doing since I left this forum. Kirstie wrote the book. I just helped make the English smooth and clear. We both worked on the website, and enjoy writing the new tutorials.
Email or message me, if you like. Although really, not much ever changes for me!
I would love, love, love to help write a new Inkscape manual (official and open source, I mean), if anyone else has such an itch.
A free PDF version is part of it, if you purchase the book. But I'm not sure about the logistics. What i'm thinking is that if the shipping takes a long time, there might be a way to use the PDF, until the book arrives. But I'll have to ask Kirstie how that exactly works. Give me a bit (of time) to contact her, and I'll let you know.
(PS - regarding my earlier comment about writing a new manual -- a whole new topic has been started on that subject, which you can find here. Sorry, the forum will not let me edit that message.))
Thank you for your interest in our book. Yes it is a big restriction that Amazon doesn't ship everywhere.
I am looking at some options to distribute the book as a digital version only. I agree with you that that is a good idea. But it is not set up overnight. I'll keep you updated.
If you want to, could you tell me in which country you live?
Well, Newnoz is not answering unfortunately. But, good news! I have managed to publish the book Inkscape For Artists as an ebook as well and put it on Amazon.
It has the downloadlink at the back of the book. So it includes all the videos, and exercise files and the PDF of the book.
Yes, it takes Nora almost 30 days to refind my own post.
Sorry , Kristie for losing you. I'm in Australia.ebook.
Note None of the following is meant advocate for or against Amazon. It's a weird world out there.
sorry for his long list. Blame that NOT open source Amazon. I'm still on the US Amazon.
Here is their list
Kindle for Android Phones Kindle for Android Tablets Kindle for iPhone Kindle for iPod Touch Kindle for iPad Kindle for Mac Kindle for PC Kindle for Web Fire HD 10 (9th Generation) Kindle Fire HDX 8.9'' Kindle Fire HDX Kindle Fire HD (3rd Generation) Fire HDX 8.9 Tablet Fire HD 7 Tablet Fire HD 6 Tablet Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Kindle Fire HD(1st Generation) Kindle Fire(2nd Generation) Kindle Fire(1st Generation) Fire HD 10 Fire HD 8 Fire
moving on to Amazon Australia.
Give me a little while HOPEFULLY NOT ANOTHER MONTH.
I guess this list is on what devices the ebook is available? That is, because it is an ebook with a fixed format which is based on A4 size. So it won't work on smaller devices. Because of the many images in the book, it was impossible to make it reflowable. It is sometimes possible to download it to your pc and read it with Kindle software. But you need to be a little bit of a technical person to make that happen.
Well, now I know in which country you are.. I can see if it is possible to let it print there. It may take some time, but we will get there.. Kirstie

Too bad there isn't an ebook version. Getting it shipped here is a big do.
Thanks

Inkscape For Artist is a $50 book plus shipping.
Amazon says
This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location.
I also did a search. No one else seems to carry it.
So it literally can not be shipped to me unless I ship it to another person in the USA and they ship it to me.
ARGGHH!
Nora
Now it says $40. My eyes are playing tricks on me.
I will continue to look for a solution. It believe it is a supply chain problem.
