This review is from: Quicken 2009 For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is a good book if you are just starting into Quicken and have absolutely no idea what to do. It does not provide any real information beyond the basics.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the advanced Quicken user, May 12, 2009
By 
This review is from: Quicken 2009 For Dummies (Paperback)
I bought this after switching from Quicken for Mac to Quicken 2009 for Windows. As a very disgruntled Intuit customer, the last thing I wanted to do was drop another $40 (from my local Borders) into Intuit's pocket for the "official" guide.

Unfortunately, this book barely covers the basics. Examples of major deficiencies include:

No detailed instructions on check printing alignment
No appendix listing keyboard shortcuts

I'm a fan of the Dummy series, but this one isn't for dummies, it's for beginners.

This book gives you a easy to read reference book to setup and use Quicken 2009. Even though the software has a great, intuitive help, this book gives a lot of other approaches you will fine to very helpful in planning how you will use Quicken 2009. It is a book you should have for reference.
