This review is from: Running QuickBooks 2006 Premier Editions: The Only Definitive Guide to the Premier Editions Features (Paperback)
I bought this book hoping that it would be a single reference for all QB06 matters, including the Premier Edition(s) features.
While the book does discuss each of the flavors of the Premier Editions, the book does not spend much or any time discussing some important features, like classes, which are crucial for intermediate use of QB. The first half of the book is dedicated to QB general issues, like setting up customers and accounts. I thought the accounts section was particularly well written and offered very helpful insights about how setup decisions affect later work in QB. However, chapters earlier and later were not as well done. The earliest part of the book goes through some configuration issues in painfully slow detail. Later, the vitally important topic of "classes" is merely mentioned and the reader is referred to the Official Guide for directions on how to accomplish this. Unfortunately, there are far too many redirections to the Official Guide for this book to be a definitive guide to QB in general. The inconsistency (discussing some nearly obvious things in painful detail while discussing other important things in almost no detail) makes me wonder what the intention of the author was regarding general QB issues. The second half of the book goes over the industry-specific versions. I can't comment on the quality or applicability of those sections. Apparently, the title of this book should be read very literally to mean that this book is meant to be a definitive guide only to the features of the industry-specific versions of QB Premier. While offering helpful insights on QB06 in-general, the book does not attempt to be a comprehensive or definitive guide in that general manner. Nonetheless, the book is worth the list price and I'd encourage people to buy it as a supplement to reading the Official Guide, especially if you want some very good hints about subtle aspects of QB or if you are an industry-specific version user.

Wonderful Resource,

This review is from: Running QuickBooks 2006 Premier Editions: The Only Definitive Guide to the Premier Editions Features (Paperback)
This book is absolutely amazing, for users and especially for accountants. There is information that's not in any other reference source, and so many tips and workarounds that I keep this book right next to my keyboard. As an accountant, I've used the information in this book many times, and my clients think I'm a Quickbooks genius.

This review is from: Running QuickBooks 2006 Premier Editions: The Only Definitive Guide to the Premier Editions Features (Paperback)
QuickBooks has become a winner in the accounting system software race. As the revisions have gone by, the software has gotten more and more complete (notice I didn't say complex - although that's true also). As the software will do more, so needs the manual to grow with it. This one has grown to 656 pages. It incorporates just about everything there is to do in any QuickBooks version. It is really concentrated about the Accountant Edition which includes just about all the features included in any of the industry specific versions and the Premier editions.
If there is any thing I would like to see added to this book it is just a few more pages at the introduction giving an overview of the book and a bit of a summary as to what the general overview of what's going on. Instead the book starts out with a deep immersion principle of setting up a company either from scratch or upgrading from a previous version. The complete beginner will catch on sooner or later, but it may take him a little while.
