Reader ReviewsThe 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.
