Great, entertaining resource

I teach Bookkeeping with Quickbooks. This is one of my reference books. I love it because it speaks simply and effectively in language that is used by everyday human beings not "Geek Squad" or "CPA" lingo. I haven't found any information in the book to be inaccurate or difficult to understand. Also, unlike the Intuit published Quickbooks 2003 User's Guide, each chapter covers a specific area, so that if you want to know about Banking or Creating Lists (for two examples), you don't have to flip back and forth through different sections of the book. I look forward to getting the 2004 version of this book. I may, or may not, get the User's Guide to 2004.

Haven't read the book yet, but emailed Steve & he answered!

I haven't read the book yet, but I just bought it. I read the Mr. Nelson's statement (third reveiw listing) and took him up on his offer to email him with questions. He answered very quickly and was very helpful! I figure that any author that makes himself that available, must really believe in his book. Thanks Steve, appreciate your time.

Dog-eared and coffee-stained, for good reason!

I have 4 different books on using QB, including this one. Know what? The book I always finding myself reaching for first is this one! The chapters 17 thru 21 are an especially nice treat; they are not really QB-specific, (so some might argue that these chapters are "filler"), but they are incredibly interesting ways of looking at your business! Like a said, a nice treat. This is the first book I've found that gave a CLEAR and interesting explanation of double-entry bookkeeping. (It doesn't make sense to learn QB if you don't pick up at least a **little** accounting rules along the way!) The "style" of this book is very friendly, and you'll find it is a very fast read; maybe it's because the explanations about WHY QB does things the way it does MAKES SENSE! Keep up the good work, Mr. Nelson, this book is a gem!
