5.0 out of 5 stars No nonesense approach, December 28, 2009
By F. JOHNSON "fredjohn1" (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quicken 2010 The Official Guide (Quicken Press) (Paperback)
I was reluctant about this book, and frankly about Quicken 2010 itself.Quicken Premier 2010 I've been using MS Money for the past decade or so, but when MS decided not to support and make newer versions I decided a change was needed.
I've been using Quicken 2010 for over a month now and will tell you that I simply love this software. It is everthing they claim and so much more. I use it for my daily banking activities, my credit cards and my 401K tracking. Quicken makes it so easy to track each of them. If you want Quicken will download details from each of your accounts web sites, but you don't have to. For instance, I want to have total control over my everyday bank, but for the credit cards and the 401K I run updates about once a week to every 10 days. Because I use my debit card as most people would cash (I seldomly carry cash), I have a lot of transactions to report. This can get overwhelming if you're not used to it, but the book made it simple for me to get started. I knew how I wanted to approach my use of the software, and frankly other books about Quicken 2010 weren't quite available when I orded this. And I'm glad for it. This book has everything about the software in it. It has a no nonesense approach and tells you how to get the job done. You don't have to read it from cover to cover, just use it like you would a refrence manual- for that's what it is.
On a personal matter I wasn't sure if I wanted to have Quicken 2010 convert all my MS Money files over and even how to do it, or if it could. I made my choice after reading what this book has to say on the matter. So as not to convince you to do what I did, I won't tell you what my decision was. But I'm glad I did what I did.

If you're new to personal finance software or just need some insight into what it can do, I recommend this book. I bought it, and would do so again, even though I've been using personal finance software for well over 15 years. Just let me say that I've never had a late fee imposed upon me, have never missed a bill, and I know exactly how much I have at any given moment- to the cent, and so much more, all because of personal finance software of which Quicken 2010 is a great product and this guide will increase your knowledge of just what you can accomplish with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quicken 2010 Guide, December 24, 2009
By Samuel H. Halter (Tampa FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quicken 2010 The Official Guide (Quicken Press) (Paperback)
Every year I update my Quicken software by buying the latest version. I also have been buying Maria Langer's Official guide for each new version of Quicken.

A copy of Ms. Langer's Guide belongs on your desk. It covers every feature of Quicken in a simple, easy to understand, way. Since I'm an experienced Quicken user, I don't refer to the guide often. But,when I run into a new problem, or have a lapse of memory, I go for the Guide. I've always felt that the Guide was well worth its' cost.

Don't buy the Guide at a local retailer. It's greatly over priced. Buy it at Amazon where you can get it at a big discount.

3.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward, but not comprehensive..., January 31, 2010
By Jeff H. (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quicken 2010 The Official Guide (Quicken Press) (Paperback)
This book is well-written, easy to read and well-organized; it covers Quicken admirably (but don't expect it to be a finance primer). It details seemingly all of Quicken 2010's features - EXCEPT for Home & Business. I assumed that "The Official Guide" would cover ALL versions, but Caveat emptor....
If you have Quicken Premier, this book is perfect; it you have a less feature-packed version, this book will make you want to upgrade. If you have Home & Business, you're completely covered for the "Home" features, but left hanging for the "Business" features.
I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone wanting (needing!) a written guide to the nearly endless features in Quicken 2010, but if you're looking to explore Quicken's small business features, look elsewhere. Unfortunately, of the three Quicken 2010 books available via Amazon, only one, Quicken 2010 for Dummies, addresses business features. Who'da thunk?
