Customer Reviews

A very valuable little book
I consider myself very lucky. The person who gave me my Quicken 2004 software also gave me a copy of this book. The author has a real knack for explaining difficult things in terms that anyone can understand. He got me up to speed very soon and showed me a bunch of tricks for tracking my investments and handling tax stuff in Quicken.

I recommend this book to anyone who has Quicken 2004 and wants to learn it, and learn it well, in a hurry.

Not much more than the Quicken help file
How's this for valuable advice under the heading "Ten Things You Should Do If Your Account Doesn't Balance": "Make sure you're working with the right account."

Overall, Stephen Nelson hasn't done much more than taken the Quicken 2004 help file and larded it with fluff that anyone whoever has balanced a checkbook should be familiar with.h

Not worth the price, in my estimation.

Quicken 4 for Dummies
This product was a big help to me as I had the Quicken 4 program and had several questions that were easily answered by this manual.
