Great for explaining but... 3 stars submitted by freopt on July 21, 2016, 9:20am This book is good if your starting off but if your like me and know alot about scratch already then... ya. The pictures are all old and the scratch that they used is all pixelated even though it was pub in 2015. I'd gives this 3 stars...

Good submitted by JaguarClaw on June 23, 2020, 11:55pm This book has nice explanation especially for beginners.

Dissatisfied submitted by luveu96 on June 24, 2022, 3:35pm This book is a copy of another one. And, this one uses pixels, and the other version has a better picture. The explanation is fine, but I would recommend the other version.
