Reviews

This is a useful book if you're trying to use Quicken for yourself. I like the Dummies books; they're typically well-written, informative, and easy-to-use.

If it was 1998, you'd receive a copy of this book in your box (remember those!) of software. It contains pretty much exactly what you'd expect to find in a software manual. This book doesn't provide anything that quick Google search can't.
