Complete Idiot's Guide to QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro 99

Rating:
Summary: OK on QuickBooks, not OK for complete idiots
Review: QuickBooks 99 is a royal pain to use, so I bought this book to learn how to use it. The author does a good job of explaining how to use the software (and I really like the way QuickBooks commands are colored in orange), but unfortunately she forgets that the reader is a "complete dummy" who also needs a crash course on accounting. There is some basic information, but not enough to help you understand why you are using a particular function of QB to do something.

Still, I recommend this book over "QuickBooks 99 for Dummies."
