Hello, people.
I may have missed it on the mailing list, but I don't think anyone has commented on this book, and I don't see an announcement on the website either. Since, as far as I know, this is the first Inkscape book to be published, I'd say that it should deserve a bit of publicity.
So, the data: "Inkscape Starter Kit", by Emilia de Castro Guerra, published by Pearsons Education France, some 250 pages, plus CD-ROM. Amazon link: http://www.amazon.fr/Inkscape-Apprenez-pratiquez-cr%C3%A9ez-1C%C3%A9d%C3%A9r...
I've found the book quite nice for beginners. It would be useful for people wanting to give courses on Inkscape, so that the students have some guide to follow. There are also some tricks and in-depth exploration of functionalities that can be helpful to more advanced users, if only to formalize all that things that we learned by trial-and-error and instinct.
Unfortunately, the book is in French (techie and simply written, I suppose, because I don't know the language but I was able to understand most of it). It'd be interesting if they translated it into english or other languages.
Denís.
