Summary: Excellent Reference
Review: I needed a reference guide for Quicken 2004. After purchasing the Dummies version, this book is by far the better text. It provides clear, concise information with screen shots for all aspects of Quicken 2004 including items you may not know about. (Records Organizer Household Organizer!) Those were not mentioned in the other text. She gives suggestions for how to set up your files the way that you want. I highly recommend this book whether you are an expert or just beginning. It is well worth the price!

Summary: pretty shallow even for beginner, look elsewhere
Review: I purchased this book to get detailed info on various aspects of Quicken 2003 practical usage. This book offers merely a description of menus and features - no deeper insight how to tackle more serious challenges, which will inevitably arise in the moment you will create multiple checking & credit card accounts, start to transfer funds in between them, run the reports etc.The problem is that the book tells you not much more then what is obvious from the interface to any computer literate user; if you're in doubt, you can still check online help. In all honesty, I found the basic 70 page long user guide which comes with boxed Quicken more helpfull then this book.... Just a sample of the quality and depth of information offered by this book, randomly opened at the pages below: pages 210-211: "Another new feature....is that the report window is automatically minimized to the Quicken task bar when you click outside the window...to view the report again, click it's name in the taskbar and the report reappears." .. I bet nobody would ever figure this out without having to look for info inside this book. I think that giving this book 2 stars out of 5 I'm still doing a favor to the author and the publisher.

Summary: A great book for those new to Quicken.
Review: The book is great for those that are new to Quicken. I purchased a copy of Quicken 2003 Premier Home and Business to just get a better view of my financial picture. I thought it was just going to balance my checkbook for my different accounts. When I read the book, I was amazed at how many features Quicken really has that I would have probably overlooked. Packed with over 500 pages of information overviewing all the features of what Quicken has to offer. I am not sure how many new features are in Quicken 2003 than the previous software, but either way this is a great book to have.

Review: This book DOES NOT COVER anything to do with the Small Business side of the program. I was very disappointed in it.
