Luckily, QuickBooks 2008: The Missing Manual picks up where QuickBook's help resources leave off.

QuickBooks 2008: The Missing Manual
This book has been a life saver. It fills in the blanks and gives details in everyday terms. We purchased this book and the Official Guide Book from QuickBooks. We have grabbed this book 3 times as much as the other one when we have questions or can't find the answers. WE LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

Missing Manual
This book is great. It's far better than the online QuickBooks "help" that comes with the software. I have been using QuickBooks for personal finances and recently converted the accounting system at work to QuickBooks. The Missing Manual has been a great resource in solving uncommon problems.

I Finally Know How To Do It
I opened Quickbooks and was lost. I had no idea what to do or how to do it. Then I purchased the Missing Manual on the subject. The book is wonderful!!! It explains everything in laymans terms. The book has and is a lifesaver.
