1.0 out of 5 stars 100% useless, July 1, 1999

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Peachtree (Made Easy) (Paperback)
Believing the hype about Hedtke and his books I bought two (This one and Peachtree Complete Business toolkits). Both turned out to be useless. This one is a simple rehash of the Peachtree manuals but even less clear and with no new material to add what so ever. You can learn more from just experimenting with Peachtree and buying a good accounting manual (if you are not an accountant as I am). The later of which there are, I am glad to say, plenty of.

If you want to buy this book thinking it will help you get to grips with peachtree then don't. As I said the manuals and online help that come with the software are much better. Maybe as a cure against insomnia...

2.0 out of 5 stars A waste of dough., October 25, 2000
By 
Excalibur (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peachtree Made Easy (Paperback)
I have already read the reviews on this page before I bought the book but I don't have that band wagon mentality so I found it myself. Yes, I have read through the book but finally stopped 1/3 of the way...I got lost. It's not really a step by step instructional book so I have to figure out what the author means and I have grown tired of it. I have a strong accounting background and I'm doing well with manual bookkeeping all I need is to computerized my books. This book is not helping. Right now I'm planning to buy those books for dummies or go to the Peachtree website and check their self study guides...I don't know...but FORGET ABOUT THIS ONE!
