In harsh economic times, it can be hard to justify expensive purchases like this. Spending $50+ on a book is a tough decision at the best of times; with most of the material here available for free on the Internet, I'm sure plenty of people will decide this isn't for them at the moment. But if you're a big fan of Dilbert, you won't want to miss out on this. It's a collection that looks stunning on the shelf, while the comics contained within is genuinely wonderful - they're not just the best in Dilbert's history, they're among the greatest comic strips ever published. The DVD containing all the strips sweetens the deal considerably, too - and the detailed introduction and comments from the witty and erudite Adams are a must-read for anyone seriously interested in the story behind the scenes. Newcomers will probably want to check out some of the strips free on the Dilbert website first - it's hard to put into words just what makes Dilbert so great, but even if you could it'll never appeal to everyone. But for those already acclimatised to the world of Dilbert, this collection comes very highly recommended.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
