Good

A really good book
by J. Smith
Wow, I paid £12.81 for this and immediately the price has practically halved! Nicely set out and well-illustrated BUT it really is the most basic of basic guides for an absolute beginner and doesn’t address any aspect of trouble shooting or problem solving that I could spot. I was hoping for something a little more comprehensive. This doesn’t even list quotations or delivery notes in the index!! The report designer section is just 5 pages long and there is nothing on the creation or modification of invoices, quotations, delivery notes etc. in this section. A basic overview of the new VAT submission function but what about, for instance, should you do if there is a duplicate transaction? An incorrect VAT code? etc. No help given here.
Doesn’t address the real-life issues of, for instance, exporting statements or other documents or even the option within Sage to e-mail such documents – it only says to ‘click print’. Most businesses are relatively paperless these days and e-mail most customer and supplier information. Remittances are only referenced by a ‘hot tip’ to say where the button is, but again nothing about using the function, e-mailing, exporting etc. For anyone who actually uses Sage and has done so for more than a week, there probably won’t be anything in here that you don’t already know. If you actually need to understand Sage for your job (or potential job), get someone with experience to talk you through how t do things and answer your questions as you go along.
This barely scratches the surface of genuine day-to-day use and doesn’t provide information on a wide range of Sage capabilities. Seriously, don’t bother wasting your money. I could, and probably should write a significantly better instruction manual.

Excellent service and quality
by Nick
Easy to use, and great illustrations, especially for a beginner.
I have found that as I have become more familiar with Sage, that I have become frustrated with this book, as I don’t get enough info from this book, but that is just my because I want/need to know more.
I do still use it as a reference and would recommend
by Steady Driver
A good recap on sage with some good info about new features. As usual the in easy steps books are the right level of info to give you some knowledge on the subject without confusing you. Well recommended for a recap or starting point.
by John Rutter
Unlike some accounting books on sale in the UK, this book is aimed at only UK readers. It provides an excellent step by step reference for the Sage 50 Cloud software user, and if the easy examples are followed it will provide excellent results, both for running your business and keeping the taxman happy.
But don’t think that accurate results will automatically apply unless you have some understanding of double-entry bookkeeping – this applies to all reference books on any subject.
