I have never read an aftermarket book about Quicken, so I can't recommend any. You might try Fatbrain or Amazon.

Quicken and me

I had been using Managing Your Money since around 1989. I switched to Quicken when the Mac version of Managing Your Money ceased development. In addition, I switched from being an employee (with tax withheld) to pursuing my two businesses as a self-employed person in 1999. I use QuickBooks for part of my business now, but I still run everything through Quicken. When I was setting up Quicken to track my finances, I wasn't always able to find advice that suited my situation. It's important to set up your Quicken file correctly at the beginning so that will be able to generate the reports you'll need down the road (especially at tax time!). Here's how I set up Quicken to track multiple businesses and clients.
