Rating: Summary: Recycled material Review: Although I'm one of the biggest Dilbert fans, I'd have to give a warning about buying this book.If you already own a number of Dilbert albums, then you're not getting anything new in this collection, and you'd be wise to save your money. If you are new to owning Dilbery albums, then this is a pretty good collection of cartoons showing how coworkers can be real sociopaths. However, the editors didn't spend much time checking this book over because I've actually found duplicate cartoons on different pages as well as a couple of strips in the incorrect logical order.
Rating: Summary: A Review by a Fan Review: Although this book has its faults (at least one of the strips is in it twice), it's another welcome compendium of Scott Adams' Dilbert cartoon strips. Anybody who has spent much time in an office setting will find much to identify with. A very enjoyable hour or two of reading!
Rating: Summary: Great Treasury! Review: Dilbert just continues to make me laugh at corporate America! This is a great treasury with lots of color. (For the previous reviewers who don't understand what treasuries are: they are a compilation of previous collections). I know several friends and family who will receive WHAT DO YOU CALL A SOICOPATH for Christmas.
Rating: Summary: Reruns!!! Review: I don't believe it. ANOTHER Dilbert treasury full of strips already published elsewhere. What possible purpose can this book have other than tricking fast buyers and well-meaning relatives into buying it without knowing what it is? I understand this is a business, and if you have a talent you can make a living off of, more power to you, but this is just a blatant rip-off!
Rating: Summary: Deja vu Review: I felt like I'd been mugged by Scott Adams after purchasing this book. It's just more of the recycled pap he's been peddling for years now. Save your money and buy the older books.

Rating: Summary: My first Dilbert Book. I liked it. Review: I have to say I enjoyed this book. I have always had a small fascination for the corporate satyre world of the 90s Adams introduced us to. I looked it up on the website and started reading the strips every day. With that, I went to the local Barnes and Noble and bought it. I liked it. I later read these reviews and they seem to be written by people with lots of experiance with Adams other books. This book was my first and it spans from 1989 to 2002, and I like it A LOT!! Its a recaap of all the characters. Through reading it you see the todays dilbert characters and adams drawing style evolve over time. Instead of a rip-off comp from all the other Dilbert books, consider it an introduction to the many faces of Dilbert and his coworkers.
Rating: Summary: Scott Adams is a weasel Review: I must agree with previous reviewers - this book is a huge disappointment!! The cartoons are recycled stuff from past books, many of them having been used more than once. Mr. Adams is rich enough without doing this to his fans. Leave this one on the shelf and maybe the "Weasel" will get the message.

Rating: Summary: Deja vu Review: I wish that I had read the reviews here before buying this book. I was extremely disappointed while I was reading it to come to the realization that there was not one cartoon in this book that wasn't published in one or more of the already existing Dilbert anthologies. Shame on you Mr. Adams.
