Dilbert before it got to be all about complaining about work
This is the book that got me originally hooked on Dilbert, and I still think it is Scott Adams' best work. The Dilbert strip, over the years, has gotten to be less about life as a well-meaning nerd, and more about the workplace, and I think a lot of very good humor has gotten lost. The humor here covers everything from dating etiquiette, to explaining why the extra fork is there, to dealing with insurance companies. Much more amusing than simply complaining about incompetent managers !

Wonderful Dogbert Book
This was my first Dilbert book that I ever read, and I enjoyed the humor in it very much. Before, I didn't understand the office jokes, but these jokes were simpler, but still, very funny. These comics weren't printed in newspapers. It's a guide on being polite, told by the all time most sarcastic dog of the comics, Dogbert. He guides you into proper etiquette, with cynical insights on what to do when you don't want to offer the last donut to anyone, or when you're in an office elevator. These jokes are just as humorously fresh as the business jokes, but totally different. I recommend this book for Dilbert and Dogbert fans, or for people who want to start becoming one. This book introduced me to Dogbert, and lead me into becoming a huge Dilbert fan. Excellent book.

Why Can't Scott Adams Be More Like This Now?
This is the third and probably the funniest Dilbert book out there! This book is so funny,you'll laugh out loud roughly every six seconds, it's hillarious and true to life. This book is not a normal Dilbert book either, rather then being just a collection of about nine months worth of daily and Sunday comics it's full of big ( one taking up a full page ) origninal strips specially made for this book featuring the master of wit and sarcasm Dogbert as he explains basic human ediquit in a hillarious and true to life manner. ( let's see how many times I can write the words " Hillarious " and true to life " ) Even though this book was obviously made as a clever market ploy by Scott Adams to get the strip off the ground and get a little more cash in his pocket ( in the early days the strip was not phenomana that it is today, infact sales were less then mediocre ) it's still clear that he had alot of fun making this book and you'll have alot of fun reading it. This book was made before Dilbert became a comic strictly composed of workplace humor so it focuses on all sorts of topics. Personally I wish the strip would be more like that now. I mean I think the office gags are really funny, but now that Scott has achieved his maximum popularity I wish he would go back to some of the old formula's again and have Dogbert make some clever sarcastic shemes again that don't have to do with bussiness consulting. So in short, if your a Dogbert fan or you've never even read the Dilbert comic or your a fan of sarcastic humor, or you just plain like buying stuff because it's out there then buy this book and prepare to be cheered up for about thirty-five minutes.

Hillarious and true to life!
