Summary: Good stuff, but redundant.
Review: I really enjoyed "The Dilbert Principle." Everyone should own a copy. Unfortunately, anyone who owns that book might find themself retreading familiar territory here. Many strips overlap, albeit sometimes the storylines are extended further in this volume. If you're a completist, get it; the strips are all good. If not, stick with "The Dilbert Principle."

Summary: Dilbert--my lifeline in a dysfunctional world of work
Review: I was laughing so hard when I finished reading this book that my sides ached. I also wanted to cry because Scott Adams' observations on the absurdities of the '90s workplace are dead on, whether you are an engineer, a teacher, a social worker or a nurse. . .I have friends in all these professions and more who are Dilbert fans. Thank you, Scott, for making work just a little bit easier and letting me know that I am not the only person who is surrounded by idiots on the job!!

Review: If you're only going to get one Dilbert book (which would be folly), get this book. It has Adams' best comics, and I couldn't stop from laughing out loud in public reading some of the strips. Get it ASAP!

Summary: I read the book. It's cool!
Review: If you're reading this and you haven't read, written, or published the book, please read no futher! Thank you. So, I think that the book is awsome, dude, and I'm very muck like Dilbert. I'm odd, braindead, and fake. That means that I didn't really write this by my own will. I was programed to do so. But there would be no point in having me at all, since my creator could simply type this personally, right? Right! So, there ya go! I'm not real and Dilbert's cool. If your last name is Adams, and you first name is Scott, write me. I have so much to ask. Like, how does it feel to have created a guy more famous then you yourself? Sincerly, Ryan B. Cook. (P.S. I bet half the people that read this never have even read this book. For all people like that, BOOOOOO! You don't know how to read a Dilbert book! You don't get the jokes! You probably have never even heard half the words in the book!)

Summary: Corporate America's Most Wanted...
Review: Monkey: Evolution favors monkeys. Eventually humans will be kept in cages as pets...
Dilbert: Impossible! We humans will never allow ourselves to be treated like that! Now, get out of my cubicle!Dilbert, the mainstay of office-life critical witticisms, is the concept of Scott Adams, who quit his job to write the column, using it primarily to exorcise the demons that haunted him (and, indeed, seem to haunt all in small-to-large corporate America) during his tenure as a mid-level office worker. In his introduction, he says: 'I was doing some thinking today. But I didn't enjoy it very much, so I decided to write this introduction instead....' Who can argue with this? This, perhaps in a brief statement, summarises much of the underlying philosophy of the corporate culture Adams presents in his Dilbert column. It certainly epitomises the prevailing attitude of the boss and management structure. And of course, being in charge of his own column, Adams has graduated (or, perhaps sunk) to the level of management. This book consists of a generous sampling of Sunday columns (complete with colour -- OOOH! AAAH!) -- colour of course being a Dilbert-ian device to disguise the lack of information. Yet, the information here is timely and timeless (insofar as anything about corporate culture can be timeless). Dogbert's entry into and rising through the hierarchy is a good case in point, where LOUD equals results. After securing a corner office with a window by being LOUD, a task force ripe for empire-building within the company, the budgetary control of his boss, he is invited, at the end of his first week on the job, to meet with the president of the company. President: You've made quite a name for yourself in the week you've worked here.
Dogbert: It was easy to grab power, once I realised that other executives were just imbeciles with good hair.
President: I hope you don't think that of me.
Dogbert: No, that looks like a toupee from here... Onward and upward... Finally Dogbert becomes president, exercises stock options after a disastrous but stock-market-friendly series of initiative plans (of course, they only have to be plans for the stock market to react), and retires to devote himself to philanthropy, which is 'mostly about watching people beg, and having buildings named after me.' We are introduced to Dilbert's co-workers, who are variously competent and stuck in their jobs, rejoicing the occasional tiny victories, or, more frequently, plotting grand schemes to gain the minor advantage (a few more inches of cubicle space, for instance). We are introduced to incompetent co-workers who get promotions and jobs in other firms with real offices and perks. We discover what kinds of women will date (and dump) Dilbert. Of course, that might have become a bit of a different problem had Dilbert's boss not been corrected in time... Boss: My boss says we need some eunuchs programmers.
Dilbert: I think he means Unix, not eunuchs. And I already know Unix.
Boss: If the company nurse drops by, tell her I said "Never mind." Dilbert does sometimes win after all.
