Appears To Be a Draft Copy

I purchased the book to start learning Unreal Engine (version 5) (UE5) from what I thought would be a good step by step process to build some sample game and/or scene. I had played with version 4 (UE4) and have some books on UE4 but UE5 has major advances so I was looking for a book that would cover these too. I didn't need the installation information as I'd already installed UE5 but read through it anyway. Then I tried to get started. There are many, many screens and layouts with UE5 and to simply say "Locate < buttonXYZ>" is not helpful. Throughout the text, the author knew there needed to be diagrams or screenshots but instead, all that appears text. E.g., page 22: Visual Example (screenshot or diagram of the download page and installation steps). For a true novice or anyone unfamiliar with the software there should be an overabundance of images for all the areas discussed. An example of using blueprints alone should have multiple screenshots of creating, linking, testing the feature/action/etc. Bottom line: A lot of discussion of what you can do but not a lot of discussion/guidance to actually help you do it other than to reference the existing Unreal Engine documentation that is online for more information.
