This book was my first contact with the man who was to become my business guru, Scott Adams. I regularly quote "Staff are our greatest asset, and like most assets they lose value over time", and some quite senior managers have admitted that it is probably true. Adams has an army of moles passing him stories of everyday madness from the corporate world, which makes his work perhaps the best portrayal of business life in the Western World. ( )

Not Read

I love "Dilbert", but this is not a collection of the strips, but an assortment of Dogbert's "helpful hints" for surviving in the business environment. These hints are slightly less satisfying than the strip itself, and I feel shortchanged because the artwork is expanded to the point where this book contains perhaps half the normal complement of cartoons. Adams' art hardly neccessitates a larger panel size, but seems almost a logical consequence of today's smaller panel size. So this book loses a point. Still fine, though. ( )
