Recently really got in to this fantastic game. however i see there are quick start guides for previous versions. is there a quick start guide for 8.1 or something close enough to give to my players so they dont need to read all 336 pages??? or as a quick reference?

I think something like that is supposed to come out eventually, but it doesn’t currently exist. You can use the blades_sheets file as a reference; for player reading, they don’t actually need to read the book unless they think it’s an interesting read (it is!). Direct them to the “Players’ best practices” section and tell them to follow the advice there. The rest can be explained while you’re playing, I think.
John is working on a “Players Kit” which will have the character and crew sheets along with some quick start guidelines. In the meantime I recommend the rules reference sheets here: http://www.evilhat.com/home/blades-in-the-dark-downloads/
