4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad "Best of" book., 22 Jul 2000
By John Peter O'connor - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This book is a compilation of material from earlier Dilbert cartoons rearranged by topic. The cartoons show Dilbert and his weird collection of co-workers in a range of different situations.

It will not be of interest to Dilbert fans who already have the books from which these cartoons are taken. However, seen as a "Best Of" book, it is worthwhile. The actual selection of material is very good and it certainly shows the humour of Dilbert at its best.

If you do already have all of the books in the Dilbert series, I'd suggest buying this one as a gift for a friend who is not familiar with Scott Adams work. It makes a great introduction, showing what Dilbert is all about.

If you are not familiar with Dilbert and want to find out what it is all about, then this book is a good place to start. Just accept that, if you get hooked and buy the other books, you will then have a copy of this book that you do not really need. If that happens, no problem, gift wrap it and send it as a present to a friend.

My only real gripe about the book is that its nature is not made clear on the cover. Not making clear that this is a "best of" collection seems to suggest that the author, or his publishers, view the readership as little smarter than some of the characters in the books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect collection of early Dilbert cartoons, 29 Dec 2006
By Bernard Smith (Somewhere, Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is yet another book from that Leonardo of the corporate world - Scott Adams. It is a full sized book full of his cartoons, and they cover all types of jobs, from consulting, through lawyers, to secretaries. On top of that there is a second section on job impediments such as cubicles and teamwork, but I was surprised to see nothing about boredom or incompetence. This is full of great cartoons such as the one where the boss finds out that employees are not the company's most valuable assets, but they are ninth on the list just behind carbon paper (money is first, and what the hell is carbon paper anyway?). And I loved the one about a company that decided to outsource the things that they were not good at - like, for example, management! Or calling accounting a bunch of smart but sadistic trolls - it's true but it's not the kind of thing you normally say out loud. Or the idea of charging admission to any company where there is job satisfaction.
I give up, how do you summarise and review more than 220 pages of Dilbert cartoons? You don't, you just buy it and enjoy yourself for the rest of your life.
