It seemed that each time I looked something up, it referred me her basic book. This book does not stand on its own. To get much out of this book, you also need to buy her other book.

I really thought that this book would give me full detail on how to run Quickbooks, instead it was a highly detailed handbook for a already proficient user who wanted to learn the highly advance tools available. I did not uhderstand any of it and had to put it down. It would have been far more valuable to get Quickbooks for Dummies or the official handbook for Quickbook. I wasted my $25.

I ordered this book hoping for some advanced tips or other information about the Premier Edition, but I was really disappointed. Although the book says it's advanced, it's not; and it's not basic either. It mostly a rehash of the QB help files, along with pitches for other books or services by the author. The book also shifts confusingly from chapter to chapter -- some parts are directed at the accounting professional, while others are directed at the business user. Although there is some helpful information in the book, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.

It's amazing that the first book written on this product from a Canadian company has nothing to do with Canadian tax law. It would've been nice if they mentioned that this book is geared towards the US version.
The other thing that surprised me was the yellow paper that makes the book look and feel like it was written in the 50's.
There are many references in the book advsing you to read another book for the answer.
Definitely not what I expected as a new user to Quickbooks.
