Amazon.com Review
Many people are still not overly comfortable with a computer. If you count yourself in that group, Peter Weverka has written Quicken 6 for Windows for Busy People to enable you to quickly use Quicken to manage your finances on your computer without a great deal of stress.
Each chapter begins with a "Fast Forward" section that tells you how to perform tasks in a few simple steps. Each task is covered in more detail later in the chapter. Although the approach is folksy, the book covers all the functionality of Quicken 6. This four-color book offers a user-friendly approach that more sophisticated users may not appreciate.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book even for seasoned users,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quicken 6 for Windows for Busy People (Paperback)
I have been using Quicken for about a year, having read only the manual on occasion. I came across this book at the local library and decided to check it out. I found the book an easy read and well thought out. Most of the material was review for me but I did find a few gems of wisdom which made reading the book worthwhile. All in all a good book for someone new to Quicken or someone who has been using Quicken for a while and wants to go beyond the skimpy manual which comes with Quicken. Quicken contains some nice features which aren't explained in the manual.
