QuickBooks Learning Guide 2009 by Craig, QuickBooks 2009: The Official Guide by Ivens -- what are the differences, if any, in these two books, and which is the official Intuit publication?

The following quote is from the cover of "QuickBooks 2009: The Official Guide."
"Intuit approved and loaded with secrets, this book provides you with recipes for financial success. Scott Cook, Co-founder Intuit, Inc..
Also the title says it all.
I never read the book by Craig, so i am unable to comment on differences.



The Craig book is Intuit's Education Program lesson book. There is a student version and an instructor version. It has exercises in each chapter and includes a sample company data file on CD in the back of the book for use with the exercises; the instructor's book has quizzes and supplemental handouts. I teach using this book.
Kathy Iven's book is a reference manual. She provides good examples of how to do certain tasks. This book supplements the Help system in QB. It doesn't not have exercises and is not a student guide. It is a user's guide. I own this book; also the Biofore reference guide.
There are at least three other student books and a half-dozen other user's guides. It depends on what you want from a book, which one is best.
Quick Books Learning Guide 2009 is by Craig Who?
I can't seem to find it on Barnes and Noble.com site. Can you give me his full name. Thanks

Scroll halfway down.
Also, previews:
The "QB in the Classroom" is the Instructor's book that goes along with the Learning Guide. They are the same except the instructor's book has quizzes and handouts.
