Really enjoyable collection but I probably should not have read it right on the heels of It's Not Funny If I Have to Explain It, because both of these are best-of collections and as such include a lot of the same material. But anyway, most people won't be reading those two one right after the other, so Dilbert Gives You the Business is still a good read. The format of this book is unique: it sorts strips by subject matter, so you'll have a section with comics devoted to bosses, one for secretaries, another for marketing, and so on. It's a good mix of comics and contains lots of the favourites, including the classic tech support strip where Dogbert tells the guy to stand on his chair and yell over his cubicle wall, "Does anybody know how to read a manual?" Priceless. ( ) Dilbert Gives You the Business is a compilation of business related Dilbert strips (which means that there is a lot of source material to draw upon). The strips are organized by topic under two broad categories labeled "Jobs" and Job Impediments" which each have numerous subcategories arranged in alphabetical order ranging from Bosses and Annoying Co-Workers, to Training and Travel and covering almost all conceivable topics in between. The individual strips are, as usual for Dilbert, satirical jabs at the absurdity of the corporate world, lampooning every topic that comes up. Of course, the strips hold up so well because in many cases the satire is not very far from reality (in fact, several strips are marked "from a true story", and whether that is true or not, one believes that it could be). I suppose that there must be some companies out there that aren't like the cubicle hell that Adams portrays - after all, there must be some products actually produced and accordingly some people who actually work in an environment conducive to productivity - but I have not seen them. The only weakness of the book lies in a side effect of its organization. By organizing the various strips by topic, some strips seem to lose the context they would have if they were in the original order in which they were published. In many cases, it seems like strips that were originally published back to back are separated by dozens of pages (because they address different business topics), and as a result, the strips presented can seem a bit disjointed, which could be disconcerting to some readers (although one might guess that effect might be at least partially intended). Still, the overall quality of the individual strips is high enough that this is a relatively minor point. For anyone who has ever worked for someone else, Dilbert Gives You the Business will be painfully funny. For pointy haired bosses, the book will probably just be painful.
