It is simple, useful, and handy!.......2003-02-14

I found this book is more helpful and practical for people who already have some computer accounting background than for these who hope to gain in-depth Quickbooks knowledge. After three years of using Quickbooks Pro, I finally got rid of my previous study book that was 500 pages long and bought this one as my desk reference. Even though, as some poeple said, this book is nothing new and in most part a rewrite of the users' mannual, it is still a new book with a significant contribution from the author that makes it different--concise, simple, and handy!

Hey, I was going crazy..........2002-01-13

...trying to learn how to use my new business software by utilizing just the little help paragraphs. "FORGET IT!" I screamed. "I need a book!" So I went to my favorite book store, Amazon.com, and couldn't find any books listed under QuickBooks. Finally, after shopping with the same "nothing" over at a couple of other places...I came back to Amazon. Sure enough, books on the subject (not software)were here all the time under a different subject search. I'm really glad that I found this book, though, it is helping me tremendously.

Nothing new in this book........2001-12-31

Sorry but this was just a rewrite of Quickbooks Manuels. No new info here. Save your money just read what comes with the program and save your money for premium support which can answer any questions in seconds.

Less useful than I had expected based on other reviews........2001-12-06

I found this book to be rather poorly organized and also not well written. I had a hard time finding my way around in the book. This is definitely not the only book a beginner will need in order to understand QuickBooks from an accounting perspective. There were just too many holes and too much that was unclear. I also found the writing disappointing and wondered if better editing would have helped. In general, this appeared to be a sort of home-made book. Sorry, but that's my impression. I have found it to be of little use compared to learning tools purchased directly from the manufacturer.

It is too too too brief........2001-10-17

I have accounting degree from four year college, so you might have some credit on my opinion.
Simply this book is too too too brief. It has little over 200 pages with big font and big margin. Quickbooks is big program and simply 200 pages can have only a bit of it.
I am currently working at small company and with this book I couldn't solve anything. I just wasted my money.
If you don't believe me, send me an e-mail I will answer for you.

A bit disappointing.......2001-03-27

I found the book to be a bit disappointing. I had difficulties applying some of the examples to my own questions. It was not very well edited, and I felt it was overpriced, considering that it was on the thin side and looked kind of home-made. I learn software programs quickly and have taught courses on Lotus 123 and other programs, so I don't think I have a learning problem. I will definitely have to get another book on using QuickBooks from an accounting perspective.

Oh, what a relief it is!.......2001-03-22

I walked into my new company to play a new role. New, for me anyway. After college, and over a quarter century in corporate america....I looked and thought I found....a less stressful work experience to relax into. I had no idea that working for a small business would require me to wear so many hats.

My first challenge was to tackle the books. They hadn't been touched for four months (and before that...well, you've heard the expression "too many cooks in the kitchen").

Taking Gregg's overview class and relying on this textbook afterward have made all the difference between chaos and discipline. Thanks for the practical, cut-to-the-chase style of guidance provided in your take-home book.

In starting our new business, the book "Using Quickbooks and Quickbooks Pro" has really helped our consulting firm to set up our corporate books. It has really simplified the process. Thanks for this necessary guide, which all business owners should have for a reference.

Simplifies QuickBooks.......2001-03-20

I found this book to be very helpful in understanding how to use QuickBooks Pro properly. It is well written, easy to follow, & easy to understand. I now keep it in my desk to have it for fast & easy reference. This book has made my job a lot simpler. Thank you Gregory M. Doublas.

For beginners only?.......2001-02-02

Based on the other reviews here, I was expecting great things from this book. I'd just started a job that requires me to use QB all the time and felt that I needed something more than the instruction my predecessor was giving me.

But now that I've received and read this book, everything it covers seems ridiculously elementary. I still feel like I could use more info about the software--like how to use QB in combination with MS Excel and a better explanation of how to get what you need using filters--as well as more on basic accounting principles.

I also think it's overpriced, considering it's a paperback and poorly edited.

Book Description

A highly readable, logically presented, unique guide to asset allocation strategies and technical analysis, this work covers numerous investment alternatives including mutual funds and fixed income securities. Aby and Vaughn provide a comprehensive examination of point and figure charting and vertical bar analysis, combined with an approach that both improves timing and emphasizes the minimization of errors in data interpretation and investment decision making. The authors discuss ways to estimate price targets and provide unique forecasting methods for fixed-income and aggregate equity markets, using an intermarket perspective. This is an important and useful resource for professionals and other knowledgeable investors. Throughout the book, Aby and Vaughn challenge conventional and acceptable academic thinking. Through emphasis on smaller, more obscure capitalization issues, they reduce complex concepts to a highly readable framework pervaded by comprehensive coverages of a large number of investment options. Major topics featured include the illustration and application of critical concepts underlying vertical bar chart analysis; extensive coverage on contemporary strategies that improve timing and challenge past criticisms of point and figure charting; a unique approach utilizing the point and figure charts to reveal how mutual fund selection can be improved; and intermarket technical analysis, a method through which movements in bond prices and yields are predicted.

Book Description

In studying classical mechanics, students are often helped by the fact that intuitions developed in everday life can give one a good idea of the behavior of the idealized objects dealt with in introductory courses. In addition, equations encountered are sufficiently simple to solve even in relatively complex situations that students can further develop their intution by solving problems. In learning quantum theory, however, intutions developed for the classical world fail, and the equations to be solved are sufficiently complex that they can readily be solved without a computer only for the simplest situations. This book represents an attempt to jump the hurdle to an intuitive understanding of wave mechanics by using illustrations profusely to present the time evolution and parameter dependence of wave functions in a wide variety of situations. Most of the illustrations are computer-generated solutions of the Schr dinger equation for one- and three-dimensional systems. The situations discussed range from the simple particle in a box through resonant scattering in one dimension to the hydrogen atom and Regge classification of resonant scattering. This edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to include a discussion of spin and magnetic resonance.

A ray of light.......2007-07-04

This book is totally excellent. This book sheds much light on quantum mechanics with its excellent graphical representations of the functions involved. The CD-ROM is also great. The companion book which introduces the computer software usd to generate many of these graphics is also great and brings a physics lab into your own room (well as far as is possible)! These books make the reader feel like a physicist rather than a recipient of some authour's bruised ego as the authour tries to confuse the reader by demonstrating 'mathematical prowess' by making their subject dull and unintelligible. This book is beautiful and inspiring and a must for anyone interested in quantum mechanics. The text contains a lot of detail, but the accompanying images make even the harder parts a joy to read. Since reading this book I have decided that a proper physics book is not simply a half-explained mathematical proof splattered on paper with accompanying problems that try to out-smart competing authours, but a good physics book is, like this one, about physics! Physics can be a very visual subject, so let's make it so! If more books were as well thought out as this one then we would have more first-class physicists!

Book Description

Rachel Morgan's back, and in more trouble than ever! Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and other vampire novels won't want to miss the second novel in Kim Harrison's addictive supernatural series.

Former–bounty–hunter Rachel Morgan has it pretty good. She's left the corrupt Inderland Runner Service and started her own independent service. She's survived werewolves, shape–changing demons, bad–hair days, and sharing a church with her vampire roommate Ivy. She even has a cute (if human) boyfriend–what more could a witch want?

But living with a reformed vampire isn't all it's cracked up to be, particularly when your roommate's very bad ex–boyfriend wants her back, and wouldn't mind you in the process. And especially when he's six feet of sheer supernatural seduction, and you've got a demon mark that makes vampires literally hotter than hell....

To save herself and Ivy, Rachel must confront the vampire master–and the dark secrets she's hidden even from herself.

Kim Harrison does it again.......2007-09-03

I absolutely love the Rachel Morgan series. I cannot say enough good things about it.

Super Reader.......2007-08-26

Let's see. You have dead vampire and live ones. That is one problem. Rachel has both kinds that want to shag her, bite her, do both, or some combination of them. This includes her roommate and her roommate's boyfriend. There is also a demon that wants to do considerably worse things than that.

She ends up helping the human investigator types deal with a case that is out of her league, by going undercover to witch school, basically.

they are getting better.......2007-07-23

I got the first book, read it, and was not sure I would read any more.
However thought I would at least try the next couple books.
They get better with each book and the lead character starts becoming more.
The lead character sometimes gets on my nerves with her childish reasoning,
but it gets better less reactive and more thoughtful.
I will try the next 2 with hopes that she becomes even better.

Another Lively Mess.......2007-07-05

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead (2005) is the second Urban Fantasy novel in the Rachel Morgan series, following Dead Witch Walking. In the previous volume, Rachel finessed threats from Inderlander Security by gaining support from the Federal Inderland Bureau -- and blackmailing Trent Kalamack -- but her former IS boss was still out to get her.

In this novel, Rachel is looking for a stolen tropical fish. She locates an extra fish in the tank outside the office of Mr. Ray, a Were Alpha known for his fish collection, and gets it out of the building. Yet the Were pack is searching the area and spots her. Rachel only gets away by coopting a FIB car and its driver.

Unfortunately, Detective Glenn has been looking for Rachel. Now Glenn won't let her out of the car. She is on her way to the FIB building for a meeting with Captain Edden regardless of her feelings on the matter.

Luckily, Edden likes her and only wants help interrogating a warlock. Sara Jane is the secretary of Trent Kalamack -- Rachel's bete noire -- and she has reported the disappearance of her boy friend. Dan Smather is also a warlock and has been missing since Sunday. Sara Jane is convinced that his absencee is associated with the witch hunter murders.

The witch hunter has been killing witches experienced in ley line magic. Edden not only wants Rachel to assist in the interrogation, but also to start checking out the ley line aspect. He has enrolled her in the same course that Smather was taking.

In this story, Edden assigns Detective Glenn to work with Rachel. Jenks disparages the whole idea; he doesn't like Glenn and has already pixed him once. Rachel also objects, but is trumped by Edden admitting that Glenn is all that they say, but is still his son. Glenn joins the team, at least temporarily.

After Glenn takes them home, Rachel calls the Howlers to report her success in recovering the fish. Despite some confusion -- caused by the name of their firm -- Rachel passes on the message and is told that the fish was not really missing. She has risked her life and they say they are sorry, but them are the breaks. Apparently the Howlers are not going to pay her fee.

Since Sara Jane is not yet available to show them Smather's apartment, Detective Glenn stays over for supper. When Ivy comes home, she is surprised to see Glenn, but he is really upset to see a vampire. Then he says a few things out of fear that are better left unsaid and Ivy's eyes go black. Rachel talks Ivy out of her mood, but Glenn freaks out to the point of drawing his pistol. Finally Rachel gets him unwound and Ivy back to normal.

As thing are settling down, Ivy asks about the presence of Glenn in the church and Rachel eventually tells her of Sara Jane. Ivy seems to accept this news calmly, but is adamant that Rachel is not going to take the case. Like Jenks, she thinks that it is all a setup by Trent. She gets violent after learning that Rachel plans to interview Piscary. Glenn draws his pistol again and everything goes to pieces until Jenks returns and gets Glenn out of the kitchen.

At the University, Rachel is feeling the usual awkwardness of a newcomer in a tight group of students. Outside the classroom, she encounters Denon -- her former boss -- and receives the usual threats. Then she meets Dr. Anders . . . again. Naturally, Dr. Anders remembers her and informs her, in a definite tone of voice, that she will be flunked out (again) if she doesn't get a familiar.

This story involves Rachel in some convoluted magic. She finds an old grimoire in the church that contains a spell for producing a familiar. She faithfully follows the directions and the spell works, but not quite in the way she expects.

The Vampiric Charms crew introduces Glenn to tomato products. Ever since the great dying, humans have been terrified of tomatoes. At first, Glenn is too horrified to eat anything with tomatoes in it. Eventually, he is coaxed into a first bite and he likes it. Now Rachel is buying him tomato products on the sly.

As you may have noticed, Rachel Morgan has a definite problem with planning. Most of the time she just goes with the flow and improvises, but sometimes she tries to plan ahead. Yet she only takes favorable circumstances into account; she seldom considers that something might go wrong. When something usually does, she is forced to wing it.

Rachel assumes too much and seems to have never learned about the term "assume". No wonder older characters try to take her under their wing and explain the facts of life! Even Jenks -- the eighteen year old pixie -- has more common sense than she does! Still, her flaws are very familiar to anyone with a twenty-something daughter.

Highly recommended for Harrison fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of high magic, mysterious deaths and contorted relationships.

Great world, story is slow, Rachel character has some flaws.......2007-06-21

I seen this book in B&N, so I checked it out at the library. I didn't realize it was book #2 at the time. It didn't matter though, I was able to pick up the story with no problem. A lot of backstory was explained if the situation needed it.

The story was very slow at first. There was a ton of detail about the world in which Rachel lives, which I liked. Future books have good potential to work with here. However, as far as pacing, there was just too much detail that it made the story drag on far too long. The story really didn't get started until around chapter 13 to 15. There was another point later in the book where the story, again, was sluggish.

Someone made a review that the story would have been over quickly if just a certain one person came forward with what they knew... this I agree with. The plot was pretty cut and dry.

The biggest problem I had was that I didn't care for many of the characters. Rachel was growing on me, but by the time I got to book 3 she was getting on my nerves and I stopped reading the series. She is very klutzy and not overly intelligent or calculating. She tends to mess everything up by jumping into things blindly. It leads to some interesting situations, but the character wasn't really my cup of tea. I actually liked the demon's character most of all. The Rachel character did not seem to be one that could stand alone like Anita Blake. It was only when Ivy, Nick, Jenks, etc. were around her when the story really shined.

I started reading the Anita Blake series after I stopped book 3, I didn't even finish halfway through book 3. Maybe I'll come back and give this series a second chance, but right now Anita Blake is too good. Anita I would give 5 stars, this book I can only give a middle-of-the-road 3.

Book Description

Vampires have secretly grown wealthy behind the scenes for centuries, involved in monumental tasks such as overthrowing governments, and mundane ones like running local strip clubs. But instead of viewing things from afar, they like to plunging headfirst into debauchery themselves.

In modern times, the sexy unofficial vampire boss gets in deep trouble after her group s move to St. Louis. Along with her right hand vamp "Scummy" (who battles an eternal hangover, an everlasting erection and extreme lack of couth) and a cast of other assorted degenerates, they must prepare for one last battle against an old antagonist from days past.

None of this is made easier by the training of new "rookie" vampire, a local St. Louis "hoosier", along the way.

Imagine if vampires were far more human than anyone gives them credit for but too rich, too bored, and too immortal to play by any of the rules.
