Helps get you started The Dummies books are designed to get people started using the 5% of any application most people use, most effectively. This book continues in that tradition. For previous Quicken users, it may be a bit confusing, but this version of Quicken has some changes that are a bit confusing (in my unofficial poll of 26 Quicken 2005/2006/2007 users who upgraded). Worth having on the shelf for quick questions.
not bad for previous quicken users-good for new I would like to review a few pages(10)before making a decision to purchase. This was my first Quicken product in many years. My friend who ahs used the software for a while finds the new release confussing on navigation-the book needs more visuals(using color codeing) and a quick ref sheet removable-to use when new user navigates.( remember, the new user may not be a tech head! There is a information lack on" OK-I made a mistake and I want to start over and need to delete what I have and begin all fresh again".
