The book was translated from French to English in 2016-2017.

We sincerely hope you found this little guide helpful when making your first steps with Inkscape, and that you will enjoy drawing in Inkscape just as we do. If you find something that could be improved, or needs to be updated, or have any other suggestions concerning this book, we’d be happy to have you join us at our collaboration space at gitlab.com or on Inkscape’s documentation mailing list
