Great book for dummies.......2007-08-01

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.

Way Too Much Detail.......2007-03-19

This is actually one of the most complicated and frustrating "for Dummies" books I've ever read and used...yes, yes, I know what you might be surmising...bah.

The book has huge sections (100+ pages) that discuss in detail a lot of accounting information...and this is where the aggravation comes in...which the author ends by summarizing "...but QuickBooks does all of this automatically for you in the background." Well what the...? He couldn't put this upfront, as in, "Hey, these next 3 chapters are for those of you who want to know what's going on behind-the-scenes".....

I'm a business owner, not an accountant - I would have greatly appreciated a lot more heads-up on what I need to focus on and what I can either skip or wait on to come back to later. I run QuickBooks so I can do the basics myself, but then turn it over every quarter to my accountant to verify everything and handle the taxes, etc.

So, if you run your QuickBooks the way I do so you can focus on growing and maintaining your business, and hire an accountant to double-check your work, I cannot recommend this book. If you love the "for Dummies" series and still want to get this, then just focus on pages 69-245; the rest can wait until you have time or the interest.

Excellent book.......2007-03-19

Very down to earth explanation and facts about the product. Would recommend to anyone using Quickbooks as the program can be challenging at times.

Not Only About the Software but Good Business Sense.......2007-03-03

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.

This is a well written review of accounting as wel as a fairly thorough discussion and tutoiral for QuickBooks. I had some familiarity with QB but my accounting fundamentals were rusty. This book addressed all of my needs in a straightforward and easy to understand book. It is well worth the cost.

Pluggola for Net.Genesis products.......1997-06-05

This book isn't about Internet commerce, it's about building a case for the use of Net.Genesis products. Ironically, most of these products have been canned since the book went into print.

This book misses many important points about Internet commerce such as credit card verification and clearing, secure storage of customer info, etc. About the only point that they hit related to commerce is SSL and certificates. It also only focuses on the use of Windows NT as a server platform.

The only reason I didn't return this book is that it does contain detailed information on three of the leading Web server software packages for Windows NT, Netscape Commerce Server, Microsoft IIS, and O'Reilly Website.

Book Description

How will the rapid growth of trade, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and international joint ventures alter antitrust enforcement? Can national antitrust enforcement guard against restrictive corporate practices in a globalizing world? Or will international friction increase as nations disagree over antitrust cases, like the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger? Recognizing the sheer volume of transatlantic commerce, the EU and U.S. have long cooperated on antitrust matters, but what has that cooperation achieved? And how far should such cooperation go in the future? This volume addresses these questions in the context of antitrust policies towards cartels, mergers and acquisitions, and vertical restraints. Leading experts elucidate the changing nature of antitrust enforcement on both sides of the Atlantic, with a keen eye to future multilateral, as well as bilateral, developments.

Contributors include Merit E. Janow (Columbia University), James Venit and William Kolasky (Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering); Edward M. Graham (Institute for International Economics), Philip Marsden (Linklaters Alliance), and Spencer Waller (Brooklyn Law School).

Book Description

`John Berdell's International Trade and Economic Growth in Open Economies is a tour de force. The author has examined the contributions under the title's rubric of Hume, Smith, Ricardo and Malthus. He draws on their original writings which he knows intimately and the vast secondary literature which he deploys with judgement and common sense. He teases out their conjectures on various aspects of the problems analysed, then uses his fine modelling and simulation skills to see how robust their ideas are. He relates his findings to very modern developments in the theory of trade and growth. In doing so, he demonstrates that a thorough knowledge of the contributions of past greats is indispensable to an understanding and illumination of the economic, political and social problems of the modern world. Not that he is uncritical of his predecessors and the commentators on them; rather he is sympathetically critical and subtle in drawing out their contributions and specifying their approaches in such a way as to make modern-type modelling possible and powerful. Berdell's book is a fine example of why a knowledge of what went before greatly enriches our ability to understand, not only the past but also the present, and to design plausible policies for present-day ills.'

- G.C. Harcourt, Jesus College, Cambridge, UK

In this enlightening book, John Berdell addresses the widely-held belief that classical economics distanced itself from policy issues and public debates regarding the effects of international trade on economic growth in advanced economies. He argues, through a detailed consideration of the evolution and structure of Hume's, Smith's, Ricardo's and Malthus' analyses, that it is not only contemporary international economic theory which takes account of these issues.

Berdell uses a series of non-linear dynamic models to illustrate and analyze important aspects of each author's discussion of the interactions between trade and growth. The findings are then extended to create a comparison of the classical models with recent empirical research in this area. Berdell suggests that John Stuart Mill's plan to synthesize and extend Hume's, Smith's and Ricardo's analysis of commercial society was rendered intractable by the limitations of Hume's associationalist psychology.

This work will be of great interest to both historians of economic ideas and economists concerned with modeling the interactions between growth and international trade.
