  • Informative and Helpful
Format: Kindle
This is a good guide for the English speaking enthusiast of technology and the makerspace. Easy to follow with pictures to demonstrate topics without using a computer reference. Much better vocabulary and editing than many textbooks on Amazon so... That's nice.

  • Good book for beginners. Better examples than the “Make” books.
Format: Kindle
Good book for beginners. It offered better examples than the “Make” book I purchased from O’Riley. That being said, If Winston Moy created a book for beginners, it would be amazing!

  • Covers the real basics - needs expansion to be useful
Format: Kindle
Just a teaser to the subject - no real instructions.

  • Don’t way too small
Format: Kindle
The font is too small to read this on my iPhone. What is the point of digital delivery if you can’t read it. Scrolling around every page is definitely not an acceptable solution.

  • Some good info
Format: Kindle
Quick read but I learned some new things. Not a technical manual but good info for a newbie. Worth your time.

  • Lack of projects to make for practical use
Format: Paperback
Not enough info for new CNC users
