I suspect that reviews of this book will be heavily biased by the fact that its target audience are its fans. There are certainly lighter (and less expensive) ways to introduce someone to Dilbert, such as reading the latest strips online at Dilbert.com. But this is a nice crash course to lend to a friend who isn't familiar with the comic series--and the accompanying CD with every Dilbert comic from 1989-2008 is definitely something to cherish.

I love Scott Adams and his sense of humor, so I was expecting a lot from this book. It contains a collection of some of his favorite works from the last twenty years and includes some of his history as a cartoonist and commentary on select strips. While I enjoyed reading Dilbert through the years and the occasional comment, I felt that the book would have benefited from more frequent commentary, as most of these comics are available in previous releases.

I treated myself to this mother of all Dilbert anthologies for my birthday. It's not the "complete" Dilbert, but Scott Adams choices for the best and funniest of the strip over the past 20 years. I always enjoyed the comic since I first stated reading it in the 90's but it was after moving to work in an office environment, it took on particular resonance.

It's sad (but true) to say that most of Dilbert is funny because it's true. The interspersed notes from Adams, particularly when commenting on strips that were rejected or censored by the editors are great.
It's important to note that this is not every single Dilbert strip drawn, but strips selected by Adams for this retrospective.

Dilbert is one of the cartoons I follow, and often one of the best. This is a good collection, with interesting comments from the author. My only disappointment is discovering that the strip has not been as consistently good as I make it in memory.

Really enjoy the commentary. And the strips that Adams chooses are funny. My only problem is that I enjoy reading the whole weeks worth, and you usually only get a couple of the days. They may be the best ones, but the mood is a bit different since things jump around.

It was good but I would have enjoyed more comments and less comics I've already read.
