Everyone who reads DILBERT and works in an office will appreciate this collection, Dilbert Gives You the Business. Creator Scott Adams tells it like it is through the insane business world inhabited by Dilbert. If frustration and lunacy are an inevitable part of your workday, appropriate measures must be taken immediately. Andrews McMeel has the perfect antidote to your workplace stress. Dilbert is universally recognized as the definitive source of office humor. What makes this 14th Dilbert book so unique is that it is a collection of the most popular strips requested by fans for reprints and downloads from Dilbert.com gathered together. Arranged by topics for quick reference, this hilarious book is the comprehensive Dilbert source book, sure to alleviate work burnout. Packed within these colorful pages, fans will find all their favorite characters, including Dilbert, as he encounters daily issues from delegating to decision-making, trade shows to telecommuting, and downsizing to annoying coworkers. It's business as usual for the Dilbert clan. . . . Dilbert is continually updating his resume, Dogbert continues his pursuit of world domination, Wally strives to do the least amount of work possible, and Alice is eternally frustrated by the Boss. Welcome to the all-too-familiar world of Dilbert-the lowly engineer who has become an icon for oppressed and burntout workers everywhere! The most popular business-oriented cartoon in the world, Dilbert speaks to millions of fans who toil in the corporate trenches. No matter how outrageous a tale he spins, Dilbert creator Scott Adams inserts sufficient nuggets of truth in every strip to keep his believers laughing. In part, that's because Dilbert is based on his own former corporate experiences-and is kept current by culling inspiration from the 350-plus E-mails he receives each day. Keep Dilbert Gives You the Business close at hand-as you would your phone book, Internet diversion tool, browser, and any other work.… (altro)

Really enjoyable collection but I probably should not have read it right on the heels of It's Not Funny If I Have to Explain It, because both of these are best-of collections and as such include a lot of the same material. But anyway, most people won't be reading those two one right after the other, so Dilbert Gives You the Business is still a good read. The format of this book is unique: it sorts strips by subject matter, so you'll have a section with comics devoted to bosses, one for secretaries, another for marketing, and so on. It's a good mix of comics and contains lots of the favourites, including the classic tech support strip where Dogbert tells the guy to stand on his chair and yell over his cubicle wall, "Does anybody know how to read a manual?" Priceless. ( )

Dilbert Gives You the Business is a compilation of business related Dilbert strips (which means that there is a lot of source material to draw upon). The strips are organized by topic under two broad categories labeled "Jobs" and Job Impediments" which each have numerous subcategories arranged in alphabetical order ranging from Bosses and Annoying Co-Workers, to Training and Travel and covering almost all conceivable topics in between.

The individual strips are, as usual for Dilbert, satirical jabs at the absurdity of the corporate world, lampooning every topic that comes up. Of course, the strips hold up so well because in many cases the satire is not very far from reality (in fact, several strips are marked "from a true story", and whether that is true or not, one believes that it could be). I suppose that there must be some companies out there that aren't like the cubicle hell that Adams portrays - after all, there must be some products actually produced and accordingly some people who actually work in an environment conducive to productivity - but I have not seen them.

The only weakness of the book lies in a side effect of its organization. By organizing the various strips by topic, some strips seem to lose the context they would have if they were in the original order in which they were published. In many cases, it seems like strips that were originally published back to back are separated by dozens of pages (because they address different business topics), and as a result, the strips presented can seem a bit disjointed, which could be disconcerting to some readers (although one might guess that effect might be at least partially intended). Still, the overall quality of the individual strips is high enough that this is a relatively minor point. For anyone who has ever worked for someone else, Dilbert Gives You the Business will be painfully funny. For pointy haired bosses, the book will probably just be painful. ( )

Dilbert, one of the funniest (because it's true) comics of all time. I would like to have the full collection of the comics. Maybe he could start by making a book of the first 5-6 years of Dilbert like the Farside or Calvin & Hobbs. ( )

This is a ten-year anniversary treasury of "Dilbert", arranged by category, but not otherwise annotated, and I have them all already. BUT IT'S IN HARDBACK (pant drool)! ( )
