Amazon.com Review Book Description Scott Adams "is a VERY tough act to follow." --Suzanne Tobin, Washington Post In the tradition of The Complete Far Side and The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert 2.0 celebrates the 20th anniversary of Scott Adams's Dilbert, the touchstone of office humor. This special slipcased collection--weighing in at more than ten pounds with 600 pages and featuring almost 4,000 strips--takes readers behind the scenes and into the early days of Scott Adams's life pre-Dilbert and on to the success that followed when Dilbert became an internationally syndicated sensation. Divided into five different epochs, Dilbert 2.0 gives readers a glance at some of Adams's earliest strips, like those created for Playboy, and a peek at an abundance of special content ranging from numerous rejection letters to Adams's first cartooning check, and more. Adams personally selected the material for this collection and offers original comments and humorous asides throughout. Also included is a piracy-protected disc that contains every Dilbert comic strip to date and that can be updated as new cartoons are released.

The Best of Dilbert October 30, 2008 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Dilbert 2.0 is a wonderful selection of Dilbert comics with annotations by the author, Scott Adams. I enjoyed both his selections and his comments. The introduction to the book is well written and interesting - I particularly liked the "pre-history" Dilbert cartoons.
Best of all, the back of the book has a CD with a collection of all the Dilbert cartoons! I had no idea that I couldn't live without a Dilbert CD, but now that I've tried it, I can't!
I should mention that the book, in a classy slip case, weighs about 9 pounds and is, therefore, a poor candidate for reading in bed - unless your bed happens to have a desk attachment suitable for holding large, heavy books. Although I was, for my own political reasons, sorry to see that the book was printed in China, I must say that the production values are very high and that the packaging is very attractive.
All in all, a book you'll be happy to have on your coffee table with a CD that you'll be happy to keep by your PC.
A must have for Dilbert lovers November 4, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
It's the best in class. The material inside is very well complemented by quality print. The icing on this baby is the update-able disc. This brings Dilbert right in the class of comic greats like Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side. It's a must have. Go ahead, buy it, you will not regret this masterpiece.
A nice piece of work, but why is it so heavy? November 12, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have other books this size that only weigh about 1/3 as much as this book weighs. It's so heavy that it's uncomfortable to hold the book while you read it, the book needs to be resting on a table. Other than that, I'm happy with this purchase--it really is a work of art.
Showcased Genius November 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Given the treatment you would expect of the collected volumes of Shakespeare, this is a large slip-cased collection of Scott Adams' genius.
While you do need to check the dimensions and weight, this should be a must have for any Dilbert fan. The cartoons and the background provided by Scott Adams are interesting enough, but to also get a disc with every cartoon published to date is incredible value, I would honestly have paid this just for the disc!
This really is the ultimate collection and gives both Scott Adams and Dilbert the recognition they deserve.
Scott Adams at it again November 14, 2008 When Scott Adams announced that he was releasing a 20th Anniversary book of Dilbert, I knew I had to get it, and he certainly didn't disappoint. Full of Adams' favorite cartoons and plenty of witty commentary that just make you shake your head at the world, it is certainly worth the rather cheap price as far as this genre of books goes.
