Facebook All-in-One For Dummies, 2nd Edition (For Dummies Series)

Good book for those of us who know nothing and understand nothing

I wanted a book for general Facebook information and easy to use. I found this book to be more geared up for setting up a business. Didn't think it was that easy or quick to go through. As I am not a technical person, it didn't answer questions I needed. Hence I only give it 3 stars, but this is a personal opinion, and others may find it very suitable.

I took a QuickBooks class and needed more information so I purchased this book. It is a true gem! It covers everything that you could possibly need to know in order to use the computer application well, it also covers the basics of accounting that you need in order to have the information entered correctly so that your accountant does not want to strangle you come tax time! I have already let a few people I know about this book. Intuit does not send any kind of a manual along with the program anymore and will charge you for their "online help expertise" so this is really priceless.

Good value for good price.

I was clueless about Facebook and this book was great assistance in boosting my confidence that I had set all the security settings where I wanted them to be. I still have questions after being on Facebook for a few months and I continue to refer back to the book.

Lots of information, very helpful resource.

Already being familiar with Facebook, I decided to read this book for the sole reason that I wanted to learn more about creating and marketing a business page (because I'm actually in the process of doing so). I started with the sections that pertained to business and they were pretty good. Often times there would be pictures that help supplement the text. The bolded sections helped demarcate information and such. The only thing is that some things are a little bit out-dated, which is understandable because Facebook is constantly changing its platform and navigation structure. After finishing the business sections (or "books" because this book is technically 6 in 1), I decided to just read the whole thing so I can understand the website more. I can't speak for somebody who isn't familiar with Facebook so I won't comment on the basics but I was surprised to find helpful tips for business in some of these sections...Those of which should have at the very least been reiterated in the business sections.
