I am a long time fan of Adam's descriptions of Dilbert and co-workers' exploits. I own more than 10 Dilbert books and the recent ones, while good, are not the best. I never laughed harder than from Casual Day has Gone too Far and Still Pumped from Using the Mouse, and every subsequent Dilbert book gets measured against that. The earlier ones are worthy just for leading up to the pinnacle, and are interesting for spotting the budding genius of the later installments.

I think the Dilbert series as a whole holds its own still, and for sarcasm, it is one of the best. Something similar, although much darker, is Red Meat, which I also recommend.

The next volume (number 29 in the series) of Dilbert cartoons, containing all the syndicated worldwide strips published from 19 Jun 06 until 25 Mar 07. ALL the cartoons are in colour in this volume rather than just the "Sunday Strips"! Great fun as ever - Adams remains on top form. Recommended.

Well, this was a fantastic Dilbert album since the somewhat disappointing previous one. It contains some relly insightfull jokes and is one of the best Dilbert albums ever. It's definetly on par with the first albums.

I bought this as a gift for someone who had to stay at home a few days after a visit to the hospital.
They said it was a happy read.

Another irreverent look at business and coworkers makes this book great for a laugh! If you don't see one of these characters in your office you're just not looking hard enough.

I think we've bought every Dilbert and every Calvin & Hobbes collection book available. My husband really loved this Positive Attitude book, and left it on the coffee table for others to flip through and enjoy. Maybe with the economic situation, Scott Adams can make a Dilbert book about being unemployed? Well, maybe that wouldn't be as funny after all.

This is another great book from Scott Adams. Anyone who has ever worked in a cubicle, been a victim of 'flavor of the month' management strategies, or had a well meaning but misguided superior will enjoy this collection.

I am a huge Dilbert fan and have well over a dozen of Scott Adams' Dilbert books and favorite strips taped to my office door. The best part of this book is that the cartoons are all in color. The disappointing part is that the strips just aren't as funny as those in the earlier collections. Few made me laugh out loud. I recommend purchasing some of Scott Adams' earlier books such as Still Pumped from Using the Mouse or Casual Day Has Gone Too Far. They are funnier and used copies are under $4 including shipping.

A really nice addition to the Dilbert stuff you can get your hands on. It would seem like in the current state of the corporate world, that having a positive attitude is more like a character flaw. Seeing the situations that Scott Adams describes in this collection of strips is the concentrated dose of reality that one must get before attempt to step to the scorching sunny side of life.

#29 in his series of comic strips which are compiled into a book; cover a period of 40 weeks.
If you want to get all his comic strips, this is the way to do it.
