Product Description
In "Random Acts of Management", cartoonist Scott Adams offers sardonic glimpses once again into the lunatic office life of Dilbert , Dogbert, Wally, and others, as they work in an all-too-believably ludicrous setting filled with incompetent management, incomprehensive project acronyms, and minuscule raises. Syndicated since 1989, Dilbert appears in more than 1,900 newspapers in sixty-five countries. Dilbert also appears in his own weekly television show, and on calenders, greeting cards, and Diberitos. Cartoonist Scott Adams spent plenty of time in his own cubicle world, working in a bank and for a telephone company before moving full-time to his home office in 1995. In 1997, he received the Reuben Award, cartooning's highest honour. Adams lives in California.

I own 8 Dilbert books I would say that this is my favorite. This book represents the best of Dilbert and has some of the most hilarious cartoons I have read. I would definitely recommend getting this.

I've grown up with Dilbert and belive me when I say this stuff is great. My favorite character is definetly Wally because he's so lazy. The Dlibert books are great and they always make me laugh. I have 11 Dilbert books and I really can't say I dislike any of them. A great deal for you money and one of the best Dilbert books.

What can I say? It's a Dilbert book; if you like Dilbert, you'll like it. If you don't, you won't. It isn't the best Dilbert book out there, but it's not the worst, either. (And of course, for those of us who like it, even the worst Dilbert book is worth reading.) It's good, chuckle-producing fun, but not rolling-on-the-floor laughing fun.
A Good Laugh, Though Limited! November 6, 2001

Like all the Dilbert cartoons this book gives many chuckles at office humor with Dilbert, the HR boss and the usual gang. But, as a reader, who has also experienced such workplace environments, I have one critical point to make: there is far more to company work-life than bickering between an HR boss and cubicle employees...though that too happens! But, if you'd like to read a hilarious take on management at ALL levels from sly CEOs to dimwitted technical managers and see their bungling, obstructive and selfish interactions with R&D technical staff, then I recommend the true-to-real-life stories in the satirical book, "MANAGEMENT BY VICE". With sharp wit, short fun verses and humorous illustrations, Management by Vice describes situations that are fast-paced with characters, who stand up for themselves and speak out. Company politics, ignorance, incompetence, idea-pilfering etc., described in Management by Vice, cover a far broader company work-spectrum. It is also much more candid and true-to-life than anything in the entire limited office-setting Dilbert series. Believe me, I've seen it and apparently so has the author, C.B. Don! So, for a truly good laugh and a complete picture of company life, do try both books and you'll be reading the very best in business humor!
