Format:Hardcover
Like many of the recent Dilbert releases this is reusing the old material, BUT this is something special. It's a nicely bound huge book (9pounds, over 4kg) with a sturdy slipcover.
Collection starts with small biography of Scott Adams along with drawings from his childhood and adult life before Dilbert. Then it's divided into different "ages" of Dilbert, as in the early strips it really wasn't a workplace comic and then evolves into workplace and so on.
Collection has over 2 000 strips from the 6000+ Dilbert catalog. Included on the back page of the book is also a DVD containing every single strip from 1989 to 2008 and a code that allows you to download future strips from their site.

The product description here does not do this magnificent collection justice - to lift and shift from the better description on the US Amazon:
"This special slipcased collection--weighing in at more than ten pounds with 600 pages and featuring almost 4,000 strips--takes readers behind the scenes and into the early days of Scott Adams's life pre-Dilbert and on to the success that followed when Dilbert became an internationally syndicated sensation.
Divided into five different epochs, Dilbert 2.0 gives readers a glance at some of Adams's earliest strips, like those created for Playboy, and a peek at an abundance of special content ranging from numerous rejection letters to Adams's first cartooning check, and more.
Adams personally selected the material for this collection and offers original comments and humorous asides throughout. Also included is a piracy-protected disc that contains every Dilbert comic strip to date and that can be updated as new cartoons are released"
This is a fantastic bit of work, worth the money just for the book, but to also get the disc with every single strip published to date is a real bonus. To those of us who endure an office based life, Scott Adams sees straight through the nonsense and produces cartoons that makes you wonder if he is sitting in on your Board meetings.
If you are a fan (and if not, why not?) then this collection is an absolute must.

Read the description and then read this - what you actually get is a few pages with Scott saying how Dilbert was developed and around 3,000 out of the 7,000 cartoons written up to the time the book was produced.
You also get the cartoons on a CD with NO interface - they are in folder grouping the cartoons by date so no way to find cartoons for a particular topic.
That is what you get and hence why only 4 stars (due to the small amount f information and the poor CD). It does get 4 stars though as the book is absolutely gorgeous - stunning in fact - the cartoons are large (not like in some small paperback) the paper think and yellowish so that the white cartoons stand out.
f you are a Dilbert fan ... buy it. If you're not a Dilbert fan then its probably not for you ...... If you have no other books by Scott Adams then this may be the one for you as it gives you the most Dilbert cartoons for your buck.
What is funny is looking back at the cartoons from the last recession and seeing how they are still appropriate today. What is frightening is looking back at the same cartoons and seeing what happens on a particular day, reading ahead a couple of days and seeing the same thing happening in your office - spooky or what ?

Good but not truly great
With a legacy collection like this, the format is being reviewed as much as, or more, than the content. Read more

soo much missing...
I found this book quite disappointing. Yes, it is big. Yes, it is heavy. But it is so very far from being definitive. The great majority of cartoons are missing from the book. Read more

Excellent
First of all, when you get your hands on this book you're greatly surprised. It is BIG and HEAVY. Very nice cover and very nice paper. It looks like the Britanica of Dilbert. Read more

Superb Dilbert collection. The *one* to have.
If you only ever own one Dilbert, make it this one.
Yes, it's a large hardcover volume so is a rather hefty 4 kg or so. Read more
