Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Scott Adams still has the corporate world guffawing about the adventures of nerdy Dilbert and his power-hungry companion, Dogbert, plus Ratbert and the pointy-haired boss, as they make their way through the travails of modern work life. Only a cartoonist with been-there-endured-that experience could make us laugh so hard. Over 150 million fans across 65 countries cannot get enough of Adams' glib office humor. When Did Ignorance Become A Point Of View? captures it all, even those Sunday strips that make it into the office each Monday morning.

About the Author

Scott Adams was born in Windham, NY, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1979. Scott has won multiple National Cartoonists Society Awards, and the Dilbert strip has received a Harvey Award and won the Max & Moritz Prize as best international comic strip.

5.0 out of 5 stars More of the collected genius of Scott Adams, November 26, 2001

By	N. Brett (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

This is almost a pointless review because if you like Scott Adams you will buy this and if you don't get the Dilbert humour then you are not even going to read this review!
This is more of the collected strips, nothing new but a copy to cherish of all the strips people stick over the office wall. As always the focus is on the office and the impact of mis-managment and all the hoops through which office workers have to jump. If you work in an office you will see so much of your 9-5 life within this book, you will think Scott Adams sits next to you, rather then that overweight guy who steals your mints.
I do know of the odd person who does not work in an office who has read some of my Dilbert books and can't get the jokes and the shame is that they are missing out on something very special.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best of the "Dilbert" books, September 14, 2007

By	James Yanni (Bellefontaine Neighbors, Mo. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

And that's saying quite a lot, given how funny all of the "Dilbert" books are. For those of you who've just stepped off a plane from outer Mongolia, or some other sufficiently isolated place that you're unfamiliar with the "Dilbert" books, the basic concept is that they are collections of newspaper comic strips dealing with life in corporate America; the characters generally resonate with anyone who's had to work in a modern office and deal with the foolishness foisted on employees by clueless bureaucrats and other bosses.

Any "Dilbert" book is worth reading; this one is one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Dose of Dilbert At His Best, October 25, 2001

By A Customer

This compilation of comic strips captures the many relatable and insane aspects of the corporate workplace. You'll marvel at the boss's poor management, the webmistress, Ming's insane arguements, Dilbert's sarcasm, and Dogbert's cynical antics. This book does not have Sunday strips in color, but the humor almost brightens the gray and white. I recommend this book for any Dilbert fan, anyone who is going to start reading Dilbert, or any businessman or business woman who has ever been stressed about their job and the sometimes inane events that occur.
