Customer Reviews

Excellent best-of compendium.

This book is a collection of many of the best of the Dilbert Strips, organized according to subject matter. If you don't have all of the previous Dilbert collections, this is a very good way to get many of the best of the previous strips all in one book. But even if you DO have all the previous books, it's not without value to have so many of the best strips all in one book, so conveniently organized. Granted there's no new material here, which some might consider a flaw worth docking the book at least a star for, but as reprint collections go, it's a fabulous collection.

Great for a quick reference

The nice thing about "Dilbert Gives You The Business" is that the comics are broken down into different topics: Bosses, ISO 9000, Secretaries, Human Resources, etc. I find it useful when I'm in a conversation with a friend and say, "You know, I once read a Dilbert cartoon that relates to this." I simply look up the appropriate category in DGYTB and look for it. I only wish the book were longer and more comprehensive. But as Dilbert compilations go, this one definitely gets five stars.

All Dilbert Fans Must Buy This Book!

This is a brilliant book and probably the best one yet! It contains hilarious strips about everything from managers to human resources. This book is very orginized and keeps you wanting more. I suggest that all Dilbert fans buy this book!

An Extraordinary Compilation of Comics

This Dilbert book offers comics on each frustrating topic of the office day: Boss's, meetings, secretarys, HR directors, consultants, and much, much more. It is a fantastic book, and includes Sunday colored comic strips. When you're feeling disgruntled about office topics, go to the section of your choice, and know that somebody else felt your pain. Scott Adams is a marvelous cartoonist. I recommend this book for any Dilbert fan who would enjoy reading past strips that have become outragously popular. So join Dilbert, Dogbert, the boss, Wally, and the rest of the incredible office characters in this wonderful Dilbert book.

I have to agree with the last point...

Don't dog Scott Adams, this is obviously a re-release of previous work, but I hardly consider it to be him selling out. If you already have the other books that these cartoons are in, then don't buy this one. The idea behind this book is to help people find cartoons relating to the specific topics they are looking for so that they can use them to prove their point, rather than having to dig through books to find the right comic for the situation.
