Rating: Summary: Another laugh goldmine Review: Adams does it again. One wonders where he keeps finding all the ideas, and they are so right on. Dilbert plods his way through seemingly useless existence lost in cubic space while his dog and garbage man seem much wiser. Wally never does any work, and Alice puts in long hours that she has no life. Of the two Wally is more productive because he didn't make any big mistakes that cost the company money. Catbert the evil HR director thinks up new ways to torment employees. Classic Dilbert at its best. Send a copy to your own pointy haired boss for any occasion.

Rating: Summary: Buy it! Review: Another Day in Cubicle Paradise is a 120-page (excluding title page, introduction, etc.) collection of Scott Adams' hilarious Dilbert cartoons. Dated between 2/5/01 and 11/11/01, these cartoons include all of the normal Dilbert crew: Dilbert, Alice, Wally, Asok, Dogbert, Catbert (a personal favorite), and so forth. All of these are printed in black-and-white (even though the Sunday ones appear in color in your favorite newspaper), but this is made up for by the fact that there are so many laugh-out-loud funny ones!This book is great, a must-have addition to the library of any Scott Adams fan. Buy it!
Rating: Summary: Not the best collection Review: For Dilbert fans, this is a must buy book. However, for those that are starting out on their Dilbert trek, I would recommend reading "Still Pumped from using the Mouse" or "I'm not Anti-business, I'm Anti-idiot" before purchasing this collection. Scott Adams did most of his damage in the late 90's and has not been able to pick up any momentum. Sometimes it feels like some of the newer Dilberts are just not as funny or even recycled. However, this book still has some great laughs and storylines. For the office slave worker, Dilbert will probably never cease to be funny. If you love Dilbert, you're going to buy this book anyway, and if you're just sort of interested, you should by some of the earlier ones.

Rating: Summary: cool one! may not be the best in the series Review: Good one, but why those marvelous episodes circulating in the e-mails are always in the 'other' books?
Rating: Summary: Nice selection Review: If you regularly go to the dilbert site and look at the comic of the day then you would have seen a lot of these. Still, there are quite a few that I didn't see yet. As far as content goes it is definitely better than a few of the other Dilbert books but not as good as some of the first ones.
Rating: Summary: It's Dilbert! What did you expect? Review: Like almost all other Dilbert books, this is a collection of daily and Sunday strips. You were expecting Carl Sagan, maybe? Of course it's funny... it's Dilbert, Dogbert, Wally, Alice, the PHB and all the rest of this Gilligan's Island of the modern American workplace. There's really nothing new, but as a collection of very funny, very timely comic strips, it acquits itself nicely. Buy it for your collection, or for a PHB near you. Either way, everyone wins.
Rating: Summary: Dilbert' dailys Review: This book gathers the daily and sundays comic strips that you could had found on a daily newspaper or on the dilbert homepage spanning Feb 2001 to Nov 2001. The book is a fast and addictive. You will see yourself reading this until achieve a state of immaterial sense. The genius of Scott Adams is on is prime no doubt.
Rating: Summary: Not Scott at his best, but still good Review: This collection does not do justice to the talent of Scott Adams, though I would not say it is downright bad. If you have read a lot of books and cartoon strips by Scott before, I would not recommend buying this, since themes used earlier in other books are repeated and are predictable. But the good thing is that you can complete the entire book in one sitting(I could get through it in half an hour). Overall, I would say the quality of this collection is average and I would give three and a half stars (rounded to four here). Buy it only if you want to own everything written by Scott. Otherwise pass it for other books written by him.
