Great book for a new cricut user.

This is a very good biok for beginneers to understand the parts and tools with a couple of interesting tricks. I have difficulty with grasping small things so starting to remove vinyl backing is daunting; the tip tobuse a safty pin rocks.

Easy way to explore Cricut

I’m impressed by the multiple options the author covered while also giving short details so you’ll know you’re on the right track. If you want to do something in particular, easy to pick just the one you’re interested in.

Nice

It gives a nice overview of the basics, and walks you through several projects. Harder to follow as an ebook, but does explain quite a bit.
