«Extensive Coverage»
I thought the book was great. I normally buy Quicken softeware every two to three years, and the book on that particular software. My expereince is that both the software product, as well as the book have improved a lot over the years. The book is easy to read with numerous tips throughout. Also highlighted are the changes over the previous year.
Great reference book.

«What's what!!!»
I would like to see accounts, categories, recordings, reconciling, cash flow,... performed first, and then online banking and investing as an options at the end of the book. After all, I bought Quicken as tool to setup accounts, cash flow, debt, and property.... I can look into online banking and investing when all else satisfactory. This book doesn't do this in that order. I think it trying to promote online banking and investing. I been following these quicken books for years and they all seem to promote online banking and investing, and not why I bought Quicken. I want to setup my accounts first and maybe use online banking and maybe invest.

«Frustrating»
I read "Quicken 2008 The Official Guide" which I found to be wordy and help menu English (this is what you do, but no why do you do it information). I tell you more about using Quicken at tax time in Chapter 19, as discussed in Chapter 2 and other frequent and lengthy phrases that gave me the impression that the author was being paid by the word rather than teaching me the subject. I ordered this book and "Quicken 2008 The Missing Manual" as a package and the missing manual came a month later. I am glad it did because I would not have read "The Official Guide" if I would have started reading "The Missing Manual"
