This book is for the 2008 version of Quickbooks. This book was written by the experts on this program. The book is easy to read and understand. There are hints and tips scattered throughout to help you even more. Many illustrations are also included to help the reader understand each section. The index at the back is extensive and helpful so that you can quickly find what you need. Some accounting knowledge is needed to be able to understand what the program is doing with each account, general ledger, etc. This is a great guide and I feel it is essential to have if you want to use all the features of the program. It was definitely worth the cost of the book.

This books is great for users with little accounting background just starting out their own business - A Must Read

This is a must have manual. I wish I had this 4 years ago while I was setting up my books.

This book was great, borrowed it from my library, and since I already paid taxes in my city I figured I should take advantage of the resources available to me, why line the pockets of mega corporations, and cut down more trees for a book that will be obsolete in a few years?

I find this manual very helpful when I occasionally encounter a problem. It is nice to be able to spread the solution out in front of you as you make the necessary corrections.

Reading it I found that I was doing many things wrong in the Quickbooks and later at the tax time I would have do all the entries again. It certainly saved me a lot of time and money and help me keep my reports accurate.

I just received the book and I'm so happy that I bought it. I had taken a course in college on one of the previous versions and they only did part of what QuickBooks can do and that was a service company. I have a retail business and this book tells me what I need to know about setting up everything for a retail store, inventory, invoice, etc. With this book you don't have to be a CPA to use it but if you have one that's great as CPA's can help you stay out of trouble. Very informative and check with your CPA to see if it's deductible as a business expense and this book will show you how to enter it in as such.

This is an excelleant program for any size company.
Great reports, great tools. can take away from other software programs. Quickbooks have a wonderful database you can do anything with.

This book is great. It saved me lots of frustration trying to dig through the Help Menu.
