Great book for dummies 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I actually ordered the book prior to ordering the program to be sure this was the type program we wanted. The book is simple and straight forward and certainly makes learning a new program simpler. Would definitely recommend only for Quickbooks Pro program only. The instructions do not apply to the basic program.

The only truly sane book on investing 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

The problem with so, so many investment texts on the market is that the authors of the texts have a clear conflict of interest: read my book, buy my tapes and come to my seminar, and they'll teach you how to make a million dollars. A sucker is born every minute, and the dark scary world of investment books is proof of it.

This is the best book on investing, and how to measure value generally, that I've ever read. It's very, very old school. If you feel yourself attracted to the NYSE like a big exciting roulette table, but you don't know what a P/E ratio is or what a stock split really means, buy this book before you do anything stupid.

Very good book for beginners. 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

If you are a beginner in the area of stocks, and have a lots of basic questions, this book is for you. All the terminology and the functioning of the stock market is nicely developed. I definitely recommend it instead of frantically searching on the internet for learning the basics.

Editorial Review:

A new edition of a classic stock market guide offers clear explanations and reasonable and understandable advice on investments, updating information to cover new regulations and new opportunities. 30,000 first printing.

It's not a handbook, just an brief overview 1 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

We should appreciate that this is the first book published on market talking about Oracle Financials. However, this is the book that contains only general introduction. It doesn't have any detail information either for functional users or technical persons. As an Oracle Financial developer with many years of experience, I don't get any useful information out of it. May be it's good for somebody who don't know Oracle Financials at all.

Might be ok but... 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book because I was trying to teach myself enough to become a Financials Developer. This still MIGHT be the right book for me. However, this is not a step by step guide to the installation. In addition, the book assumes some familiarity with accounting systems.

Amazon doesnt have this book and did not deliver after 2 months too! 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I have tried to buy this book from Amazon. When buying it says it will ship in 2-3 weeks, but even after two months Amazon keeps mailing that it would still be delayed by a month. Be careful while buying this book from amazon, as in my case the purpose is finshed before i even got the book.
