5.0 out of 5 stars Great help for new users, July 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using QuickBooks 2002 (Paperback)

I bought this book for my company bookkeeper who had very little experience
with computers or, for that matter, bookkeeping. The easy-to-understand
information in this book enabled her to quickly figure out how to set up our
company's records in QuickBooks and maintain them effortlessly. The
checklists for what to do on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual
basis are priceless, and now we know how to print out any kind of report we
need to tell us how the business is doing. The manual that came with the
program was confusing and just touched on the surface of complicated topics,
but this book took us everywhere we needed to go. We knew we had the right
book when our accountant came to visit, had a question about how to do
something with QuickBooks, and pulled this book out of his briefcase for the
answer!

After struggling with the manual supplied by Intuit I was overjoyed to find the answers to my questions in this Special Edition of Using Quickbooks. It contains a wealth of information and tips from one who obviously has used Quickbooks extensively.Worth twice the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Special Edition Using QuickBooks 2002 (Paperback)

This book is not worth your money or time. It is very confusing to understand what the author is trying to teach you about quickbooks. I found myself jumping around from various chapters searching for additional clues that the author sometimes mentions briefly. I had better luck playing with the software than using this book.
