Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Dummies series is known for offering easy-to-understand guides on a variety of computer software titles. This book's author, Stephen Nelson, is also the author of Mastering Quicken 98, a comprehensive guide to Quicken 98. This advantage is borne out in the content of the Dummies book, which features an unusual assortment of useful tips.

Quicken 98 for Windows for Dummies also contains solid financial advise for most topics. For instance, the author points out all the pitfalls of mortgage refinancing that are not taken into account with the Quicken Mortgage refinance tool.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough detailed information to suit my purpose, October 30, 1998

This review is from: Quicken 98 for Windows for Dummies (Paperback)
Maybe I just bought the wrong book, but... I was very disappointed in this one. This is the first "Dummies" book I have ever bought, and even though I was a novice at Quicken, I found it pitched at MUCH too low a level. There's a lot this book doesn't cover, and what it does cover is pretty cursory. There are many statements to the effect that "you don't really want or need to know how this works" and the author seems concerned with getting "too technical". It was almost a bit insulting, and some of the attempts at humor are pretty juvenile. I am the kind of person who wants to understand what the software is doing and how. And I'll bet that people who are afraid of getting a little "technical", are not the ones who go out and buy a book on how to use a software program anyway. I later purchased "Quicken Deluxe 98 In a Weekend" by Tinney, and found that a bit better, but still incomplete. Would it be so hard to write a book that explained the basics in the first section, and then provided all the detail in the back for reference as the user gets more and more experienced?? At the very least, I think authors of software application books should give a clear description of the audience "level of sophistication" they are aimed for. It would save us some frustration and money!
