If you are a just starting to use Quicken 98, this book may get you initally up and running, but will leave you half-way up the financial hill and out out of steam if you are looking for more sophisticated ways of using Quicken. As a new user of Quicken Deluxe 98, I found this book to be helpful with the most basic of the basics, but lacking in many of the finer points of effectively using Quicken. In the Introduction, Negrino admits that he omits sections on Budgeting (which I use a lot), moderate- to heavy-duty Investing, and the Refinance Calculator. Possibly the book was only meant for user of Quicken Basic 98 and not of Quicken Deluxe 98 (I have the latter.)

Overall, I found the Help section that came with the software considerably more valuable than Negrino's basic text on Quicken.
