Quickbooks

Like all of the For Dummies books, this one is easy to read, and being All-In-One...is just that. Lots of info...and a good resource as I'm slogging through this program trying to create invoices....

Great review of accounting and Quickbooks

This is a well written review of accounting as wel as a fairly thorough discussion and tutoiral for QuickBooks. I had some familiarity with QB but my accounting fundamentals were rusty. This book addressed all of my needs in a straightforward and easy to understand book. It is well worth the cost.
