This is one of the funniest office-related books I've read. These guys are cynical, sarcastic and have more insights in modern workplaces than most business consultants. If only we could buy these products--coffee mugs with your six-figure salary emblazoned on it and other ego-pumping products. It reminds me of the Alex Baldwin character in Glengarry Glen Ross, who plunks his Rolex on the desk in front of some loser colleague and says "Who am I? This watch cost more than you earned last year, that's who I am."
This book reminds me of when I got my first job in the early 90s. My predecessor cleared out the bookshelf and left only Dilbert's "How to Build a Better Life By Stealing Office Supplies," which turned out to be the best sources of career advice I had. Now, as I'm preparing to clear out of an office, I think I'll leave the Stooples book to my successor...

If you ever wondered why your company didn't issue you a survival guide, stop wondering. Here it is. Subversive. Full of invective. Funny. Wry. Witty. Stupid. I mean Stooples. The catalogue of necessary office supplies to survive the day at work. Want a pat on the back? Look no further than Stooples. Looking for something for that annoying boss? Stoople here.

National Lampoon meets the Idiot's Guide to Office Life.

What George Orwell would have written if he had known how to use a computer, camera and copy machine.

Full of great gift ideas: the Blackbury - so death doesn't do you apart.

Get Stooples for all your office mates. Get Stooples for your boss. But best of all: get Stooples and give it to the boss when you go in to quit. Stooples is, as Stooples does.

A wonderfully clever, entertaining book! I'm ordering a bunch for gifts, anyone with a brain and a sense of humor will love it. Cannot wait for the next installment!

This book had me laughing for hours. It's the perfect coffee table book to set out for guests to enjoy and laugh out loud with. It's intuitive, super creative and a lot of fun. Kudos to the authors and let me know when I can expect to see Stooples 2!

This is a really funny book. Reminds of me of Dilbert and the like. Good office humor. Like a catalogue. I got one for myself and liked it enough so I ordered several on amazon. Great gift for people who aren't PC and who like to laugh. Nice work Reifler, Najberg and Vacca, wherever you are.

When you set three wise guys loose in the office, you're going to get something unpredictable, funny and smart. "Wise" is the operative word here--all the things you were told not to be in high school. Or most anywhere else. Nothing is exempt! I wouldn't be exempt, or you, or the authors--everything goes. Go with it, you'll like it!

First there was Dilbert...funny, yet so close to the truth! Now comes Stooples: Office Tools for Hopeless Fools. I got hold of a copy, and I haven't let go or stopped laughing since!

It's essentially a table top book, although if you leave it on your corporate reception area table, it WILL disappear. Same for the washrooms.

At only $12.95, cheaper at Amazon, for this 128 page full color parody of an office supply catalog, it's well worth thinking about it as a Christmas stocking stuffer, your office gift exchange, or as a give-away at your office holiday bash. The authors will be on tour throughout the US in October and November just to make sure you got their message. You were warned!

This book was hilarious! For anyone who has ever worked in an office setting, it's a must-read when you need a good laugh. This would make a good gift for co-workers and bosses with a sense of humor!

This book was SO funny - had me laughing out loud from page one! A GREAT gift idea for co-workers and colleagues. Definitely worth the read. Can't wait to get my hands on the next Stooples book!
