Book Reviews of QuickBooks 2006 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers))

Book Review: Worth Far More than it Costs
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the better 'For Dummies' books that I've read.

To be sure most of the book is exactly what you would expect. It's a complete introduction to the QuickBooks accounting system. Being a 'For Dummies' book the othewise rather dry how to use a computer are livened up with a bit of humor here and there. I appreciate this as it tends to help me from going to sleep.

It's the extras in this book that make it easily worth the money, in fact possibly worth several times its cost. The author is a CPA. He has seen what really happens in the business world, and once in a while he provides a simple rule or two. For instance, 'Sign all your own checks.' Simple rule, but it tends to keep people honest. Another rule, 'Review canceled checks before your bookeeper does.' Obvious.

Then there's the discussion on fixed and variable costs vs. revenue. If your rent doesn't go up, selling just a little bit more can yield substantial increases in profits.

These are things that you just don't see in the normal how-to computer book and once again, could be worth far more than the cost of the book.
