I could not wait to get my hands on this textbook simply because I knew it would make accounting much easier. However, I was unsure of how easy it would be to learn the ins and outs of QB. Well, needless to say, this textbook has made everything seem easy! It breaks down every basic thing you need to know about the software. Any question you may have can be answered in this text. I would recommend this text to any accounting student or person who needs to learn QB. This is knowledge that is useful for just about any job.
This book was very hard to follow in some of the problems. I had a hard time reading and following the text. I feel this should be almost a 3 semester book not a 2 semester book. There is alot to read and understand in this book.
This textbook will walk you through step-by-step on how to use Quickbooks. It's great if you're new to using this software program. This book provides plenty of screenshots, so you could follow through with what the author is doing. But be mindful that there are a few inconsistencies with what the author say what to do or what is the correct answer and what the pictures show. I also found quite a bit of typos in the book, and I am only in Chapter 5. Seriously, what are siabilities (page 2.12)? The author probably should have hired a better editor!
This textbook comes with two CDs. One is the actual Quickbooks software, but it's only a Student Trial edition, so it will only work for 140 days once installed. And by the way, it's a one time installation, so if you don't have the Quickbooks software and thinking of buying a used book, you should really reconsidered buying a new one instead. And after you install the CD, please be aware that you must register the Quickbooks product, or the program will stop working in 30 days. Lame, I know. And the other CD contains the data files (All QBBs, I believe), so you could work along with the book.
I got the book in perfect time, the day before my class started. I was expecting it to be later than it was. Book was in perfect condition, and had the CD's in it that I needed with the book. Very Satisfied.
The only thing I don't like is that it's a spiral bound book and it's soft covered, but this book came quicker and in better condition than expected. Thank you!
