Customer Reviews

Very good but falls short of being perfect.
In my veiw, Sage Accounting 2009 can be summed up as follows:

Advantages:

* It is made from good quality paper and is in full colour, so it not only looks good but is also easy on the eye.
* It appears comprehensive, covering all modules and relevant topics.
* The explanations are straight forward with lots of illustrations in terms of screen prints.
* Although, I bought the book from Amazon at a low price, the marked price is reasonable.

Disadvantages:

* It does not have any exercises and therefore the learning does not provide you with the hands-on experience.
* Need less to say, because of the above, it does not have answers to exercises, which would clearly enable you to monitor your progress.

Conclusion: The book is very good but could have been perfect if it had the exercises and answers. Their inclusion would increase the volume of the book and may even mean doubling of the price, but it would be perfect and therefore worth the money!

Sage 50 Accounting 2009
I had no real experience of using a computerised accounting system. As many companies now require Sage 50 experience, it was time I learnt how to use it. This book gives you a step by step guide through the varies sections to be used and I have gained more confidence in using Sage 50 by learning from this book. Great value for money.

Sage made easy!
An absolutely fantastic book for someone who wants get to grips with Sage. I've just started an accounts assistant position in the city and my Sage experience is limited. I've bought this book and I'm now practicing in my own time. I'm getting more and more confident by the minute. The book is well organised into the relative catagories (eg. Bank, Suppliers, etc), it has a step by step approach with screen shots to show you, not just tell you, and its written really well - in easy to understand language - so you don't get bogged down with jargon. It's also got some handy tips and shortcut keys too! I recommend it 100%!!!
