I just bought this at Borders because I needed it this weekend, but I'll be taking it back. I've just ordered "The Missing Manual" from Amazon, instead. I, like some other reviewers, feel like it is trying to market its online services more than serve as a reference manual. I won't be using those services. Yet, when I have a question like, how do I retroactively enter paycheck information, there are no answers. It's basically trial and error. Hopefully The Missing Manual will be more helpful. ...

I thought the book was great. I normally buy Quicken softeware every two to three years, and the book on that particular software. My expereince is that both the software product, as well as the book have improved a lot over the years. The book is easy to read with numerous tips throughout. Also highlighted are the changes over the previous year.
Great reference book.

I read "Quicken 2008 The Official Guide" which I found to be wordy and help menu English (this is what you do, but no why do you do it information).

I ordered this book and "Quicken 2008 The Missing Manual" as a package and the missing manual came a month later. I am glad ... Read More

This is a great reference guide for Quicken. I am a long time user and always buy Maria's book to see what the latest edition of Quicken has to offer. I don't agree with some of the other reviews. She does cover all of the major features, including the five financial centers, how to enter information and what is new and what's changed. The book is designed to either be read cover to cover or you can just read a chapter that interests you. If you are deciding how much data to track, Maria does offer some ... Read More
