 Don't wate your time November 27, 2007

This book is definitley not worth the money. It's light weight and doesn't give enough information. It's padded and there are better. In a book about Quicken, why would they waste space talking about where to shop for better mortgage rates. Better to talk more about how to use their tool.
Instead of this book, I would recommend, "Quicken 2008 - The Missing Manual", or if you can't get that book then get "Quicken 2008 for Dummies".
Review does not tell you that only covers Deluxe and Premier October 6, 2007

I ordered this to assist with the Home & Business version of Quicken but the review does not mention that it only covers the Deluxe and Premier versions of the software. I will probably send it back so I can not comment on how it does at explaining the other versions.
"Official Guide" November 28, 2007

Yes, this is the "Official Guide" written by someone who is admitedly and obviously closely aligned (read: in-bed) with the Intuit "folks" as they are referred to in this book. There are plenty of problems with the Quicken software (as with any software package), but this book doesn't even admit to let alone address any of them. This "Guide" isn't much more help than the help screens that come with Quicken itself. I also purchased "Quicken 2008 for Dummies" and would recommend it or another book written from a more independent perspective over this one. Much of this is just a glorification of Quicken which I can do without - I already purchased the software.

I am not sure if the previous reveiwer is blind, clueless, or perhaps talking about a completely different product (which would qualify him for the latter). This book says in plain text on the front cover "Covers Quicken Deluxe and Premier".
I do not own nor have I read this book (although I'm considering doing so) but I did not want the rating to suffer from one illiterate individual.
Frustrating December 23, 2007

I read "Quicken 2008 The Official Guide" which I found to be wordy and help menu English (this is what you do, but no why do you do it information). I tell you more about using Quicken at tax time in Chapter 19, as discussed in Chapter 2 and other frequent and lengthy phrases that gave me the impression that the author was being paid by the word rather than teaching me the subject. I ordered this book and "Quicken 2008 The Missing Manual" as a package and the missing manual came a month later. I am glad it did because I would not have read "The Official Guide" if I would have started reading "The Missing Manual"
