I love it!!! - 2009-02-08
Reviewer Rating:
After undergoing a massive accounting software change from Sage Businessworks to Quickbooks, I found myself lost. Although, overall, QB is much more user friendly than Businessworks, the change and difference between the two were overwhelming.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts to get help online, I tried the telephone "Tech-support". VERY FRUSTRATING.
I purchased the QB manual, and everything I need is right there. The manual is layed out in very simple, easy to follow instructions for almost every possible scenario... and you don't have to be an accounting expert to follow it. :)
Since purchasing the manual, I am able to easily navigate through what I used to think were extremely difficult transactions.
Now, (after 2 months) I feel like a pro with QB.
I recommend this manual HIGHLY, especially if you are relatively new to Quickbooks... although it will still be very helpful even if you are an expert.
Enjoy QB. I do.

A must have for QuickBooks - 2009-07-25
Reviewer Rating:
I thought this book was going to be at too high a level for a beginner. But it fit nicely into the set of three books we bought to assist us with the program. My wife thinks this one is the best as far as telling you the secrets of the program. Get the QuickBooks 2009 "The Official Guide", and the QuickBooks 2009 Missing Manual to go along with it. One of those three will most likely have the answers that you are looking for.

Que Quickbooks 2009 Solutions Review - 2009-06-08
Reviewer Rating:
This is a must book for Quickbooks Pro new and experienced users. Que has been consistantly providing valuable software manuals for years. This book is no different. How to get started "correctly", from chosing your business to setting up your chart of accounts, is there. I am fond of "screen shots", as you know exactly what you should be seeing, and Que does a great job of providing them. Their "Rescue Me" sections provide clues as to what "to do" and "NOT to do". Great working and reference manual.

Disappointing. Should be entitled How To Set Up QuickBooks Pro. Not as informative as the book title suggests.
