The Best Microsoft Money How To and Reference Books

By , About.com Guide

No reference books for Microsoft Money were published after Microsoft Money 2006 was released. Fortunately, not much has changed since that release of Money, other than the addition of Money Insights (available in the current version, Microsoft Money Plus).

In August of 2008, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Money Plus would no longer be upgraded annually.

Given the slow development of Microsoft Money Plus, you can use the manuals listed below to learn Money Plus or to keep on-hand as a reference manual. The Price Comparison buttons show you where you can get the best deal on the books.
