A very valuable little book

I consider myself very lucky. The person who gave me my Quicken 2004 software also gave me a copy of this book. The author has a real knack for explaining difficult things in terms that anyone can understand. He got me up to speed very soon and showed me a bunch of tricks for tracking my investments and handling tax stuff in Quicken.I recommend this book to anyone who has Quicken 2004 and wants to learn it, and learn it well, in a hurry.
