2.0 out of 5 stars
Not much depth,
By J Scott (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quicken 2005 The Official Guide (Quicken: The Official Guide) (Paperback)
As an "official" guide, you would think that this was a definitive source of information to help with the many esoteric challenges that Quicken presents. As powerful and mature as Quicken is, it still suffers from an enormous number of quirks, particularly as it relates to on-line connectivity with banks and brokerages. This books simply does not proceed past the basic operation of each function and does nothing to help you fix or mitigate problems with share balances or, for that matter, how to really move to paperless financial management. You either need to endure Quicken's minor irritations, find another source of information, spend money to talk with someone at Quicken, or tinker endlessly. I was looking for some in-depth help and insight. It's simply not here.

Not Tailored for Mac Users,
By Aloha John (Honolulu, HI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quicken 2005 The Official Guide (Quicken: The Official Guide) (Paperback)
This book has been a bit of a disappointment since all of the screen shots and commands are from the Microsoft Windows version of Quicken. I have discovered several features and commands that are not included in the Mac software that I own. Hopefully Quicken will correct this deficiency in future editions.

This review is from: Quicken 2005 The Official Guide (Quicken: The Official Guide) (Paperback)
This book is a must have whether you are new to Quicken or already a Quicken owner. The extra tips and new sidebars are worth reading. Quicken has so many features, you need a guide to truly get the most out of your software. Whould you know that Quicken Dexlue and Premiere come with a Household organizer and Emergency forms without the book? You don't have to read cover to cover, you can reference the sections covering the differing financial centers. I bought last year's edition and when upgrading for 2005, this was a must read. If you have Quicken or are considering purchasing, this book should be read. Maria covers all features in an easy to read format, and the screen shots are very helpful. The Dummies editions for Quicken can't compare.
