Best Book Available!

This book explains things with the perspective of YOU the business person in mind. Very clear, very detailed, accurate, organized, and loaded with EVERYTHING you need to know from getting started to dealing with payroll, to finishing out the year with closing entries and taxes. I recommend this book to anyone learning quickbooks, and as supplement for anyone who already uses quickbooks, but would like to learn more. In my opinion, it is the best out there for your money.

Wow ... everything you need to know

I found the QB2010 program VERY complicated and not terribly intuitive, but this book really helped. I was able to learn the basics very quickly and then use it as a reference to look up specific tasks. The index is very complete. I can't compare it to other books about QB2010 since I've never used anything else, but I can't imagine I'd need anything else anyway. The screenshots were good, too -- large enough to see clearly.

Not as basic as "For Dummies" books, but still a good reference

As a Quickbooks first-timer, I needed something because I was a little confused and frustrated. This book is a good reference book for those times when I just couldn't figure it out on my own. It is similiar to the actual Quickbooks Help option that is included with the program. It is NOT as basic as the "For Dummies" books, however.
