What our customer's say!

"A total waste unless....", Ubnless you really have never seen financial software in your life, don't buy this book. Much verbiage, few facts, all very basic. Horrible index -- but then again, there is nothing "hard" or useful in this book to look in the index for. If you have a "tough" Quicken question, don't look for the answer here. It really IS for "dummies." I am actually going to try to take mine back.

"Does not address my needs", I upgraded from MSFT Money. The "translation" involved 19 pages of errors. I am ready to pull my hair out. This book does not even mention moving from Money to Quicken! The "Quicken 2010, The Official Guide," does talk a bit about the translation. Bottomline: Quicken does not handle CASH in an investment account, which is where I got messed up. I finally UNINSTALLED Quicken and revived my old Money to finish off the year. Neither book could "fix" any of the mess which came through the change. I might try to start from scratch for year 2011 using Quicken. There is NO EASY way to move from Money to Quicken unless all you have is a checking account...in which case you don't need Quicken anyway...all you need is paper, pen, and a calculator.

"Typical Amazon and good product", The book is what I expected -true to the series pattern. Amazon's performance was routinely perfect.

"This Dummy Likes this Book", I finally actually started using quickbooks 2010. I have bought earlier versions but just never took the time to learn it and use it. So this year I got started. This book is well written and easy to reference. So far I have not failed to find anything I needed to look up in this book.

"For beginners, QX for Dummies is okay", If Quicken 2010 is one's first use of Quicken software, the Quicken 2010 for Dummies book will fill the bill (no pun intended).

As a long-time user of Quicken software, 2010 for Dummies didn't tell me anything I didn't already know -- other than to introduce a new feature, "tags," which I probably won't utilize anyway.

The only reason I purchased this book was because Quicken's tech support in India wasn't able to help me with the Quicken Home Inventory feature which was available on all of my previous versions. I literally spent over an hour speaking with the rep and his supervisor, who assured me I had the QHI on 2010, but couldn't tell me why I couldn't restore my backups onto the new software. So I bought the book thinking the answer could be found there. Turns out Quicken dropped this feature on its 2010 version. Had I known this I wouldn't have bothered with getting QX10 or the book. Maybe Quicken should send copies of this Dummies book to its tech support people overseas.

But again, for first-time users of Quicken 2010, this book will do a good job of introducing one to the software in simple, easy-to-understand language -- which is, of course, the purpose of all "Dummies" books.
