Quicken

The official and informative guide to 07 Quicken. I reviewed two other books about Quicken but this was the most informative and clear. Great for beginner and intermediate users.

This book should have come with the software

2007-09-21
I have used Quicken many years but was still using the 1999 version until mid summer this year. I decided I wanted some features that the new one has, plus that older one doesn't seem to like Vista all that well, so I bought 2007 Premier. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised to find there was no written user manual supplied with it as that seems to be the way with most software anymore.

So, I came looking on Amazon.com to see what was available. This one looked & sounded good from the descriptions with it's listing. I ordered it along with another and even paid for two day delivery! The book is billed as being the official guide and it seems like a well written user manual that SHOULD have been supplied with the book. I am still working my way through it but have learned a lot. There is a good, usable index which is very valuable in a book like this. I would say it is a good purchase for anyone and especially one like me who is jumping a few generations of the software to get to the 2007 version.

Macintosh Users Beware

I would have rated this book zero stars for Mac Users, but I was forced to choose a number ... so I chose 1 star. This book is totally directed toward Windows users. If you are a Mac User, check your CD for a Mac User Guide.

A basic instruction book if you need a hard copy

2007-03-08
Most of the stuff in this book is there in the Quicken help file, but I am a person who likes to thumb through a hard copy in the evening and not have to sit at my computer. My one hesitation about this book is it tells you everything about Quicken, but it does not help you solve the many, many quirky problems that arise with Quicken during setup, data conversion, downloads, investment accounts, etc. I had to go to the forums for that info. If you want a hard copy operating manual that is complete but short on problem solving, this is an excellent book. If you want a book that will help you unsnarl Quicken's many quirks, this is not for you.

Typical of all "Offical Guides" this book is complete, however, without any lightness. It tells the nuts and bolts wthout the humor of a "... for Dummies" book. If you plan on doing any advanced work, other than just keeping your check book, then an "Offical Guide" may be necessary.
