Rating:  - Great Source of Bad Jokes - Look Elsewhere For Useful Information
It is not exactly a closely guarded secret that Lawyers and Accountants have a rather bizarre sense of humor. Given the manner in which they make their livings I guess this is understandable, if not entirely forgivable.
All that said, I will warn you that if you purchase Quicken 2005 for Dummies in hopes of getting useful information all you will receive for your twenty-two dollars is a pitiful collection of bad jokes.
Don't believe me? Well just how funny are you ... Read More
Rating:  - Not for my Mac
It's an excellent book--unless you have a Mac. To my disappointment, I discovered very little useful info for "the rest of us." Tip to Mac users: before you purchase this book from Amazon, skim through a copy at your local bookstore and see if it's worth the price! Had I done that, I wouldn't have bought it. My fault.
Rating:  - Great for the beginner

[I]f you're looking for encyclopedic coverage of all Quicken features, this is not the book for you." ... Read More

Rating:  - Fabulous for Quicken "Newbies" - easy to use!
I have been a Quicken user for years and have been happy with all the improvements over time! Needless to say - I have repeatedly raved about this great software, but my in-laws are computer phobes and have resisted even trying it.
I purchased "Quicken 2005 for Dummies" for them and assured them the book would answer all their questions. Well, they hemmed and hawed for a few more days, but then tried it out. It worked like a charm! Any question they had was answered quickly by the ... Read More
