Inkscape Books

Tavmjong Bah is writing a book on Inkscape, available here: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php or as a printed book or e-book from Lulu: A Guide to Inkscape.

There is also a book in French, written by Elisa de Castro Guerra: Inkscape : Apprenez, pratiquez, créez.

Additionally, there is a great book on SVG, which is a W3C standard which Inkscape relies on for storing its documents, called "Learn SVG: The Web Graphics Standard" and available in English and French.

Manuals

• Keys and Mouse Reference for 0.46
• Inkscape User Manual is a work in progress written by Kevin Wixson
