Great book Very easy to understand compared to other books I've read on this subject, very happy with it.
Quickbooks for Dummies This book doesn't help you if you have the Mac Version of Quickbooks. I probably should have checked that out before buying it but I assumed that the functions would be the same. Silly me, they are not! Just something to consider...
Good to start This is a very good book to start understanding the subject of accounting and bookkeeping.
Maybe I just have a mental block -- I'm a smart girl but I STILL cannot make heads or tails out of bookkeeping. Although I now understand credits and debits, the journal entering and what not just didn't make sense. The book seemed to be too general for me. I really needed more detailed, beginner-friendly information and guidance. Maybe if you have a general idea of how bookkeeping works, this book will work for you. I, on the other hand, bought this book having absolutely no knowledge of bookkeeping, and unfortunately, I still don't.
Very Pleased I ordered this book to go along with my accounting book that I had ordered. This book is very helpful and easy to understand. I received this book within 7 days and in very good condition.
