New Releases by Scott Adams

If youve ever been micro-managed, spent five days (or more) a week in a small box, or been forced to answer to an evil entity known as ''the boss,'' youre not alone. Empathize with Dilbert and his coworkers as their pointy-haired, dull-wit- ted boss proves that you dont have to be smart to make the big bucks.

It has grown so quickly that it is now generating a worldwide sensation. "Seven Years of Highly Defective People" revisits the introduction and development of all that is Dilbert, allowing Adams to share with readers his thoughts about the formation of his character''s lives.

First published in 1997, the successor to The Dilbert Principle is this time written by Dilbert''s canine, Dogbert. He teaches new managers vital skills such as how to be leaders without making any decisions and how to inspire employees by giving them worthless knick-knacks. Scott Adams combines the challenges at work with the challenges of life.

A collection of comic strips from the popular series skewering corporate life features the antics of the deadpan engineer and his clever menagerie of talking animals, including Dogbert, Catbert, and Ratbert

"Provides an outrageously fresh and farcical takes on the work-a-day world and Dilbert''s own pathetic life"--Back cover.

Dilbert''s sarcastic sidekick, Dogbert, proves that you can do anything you want in life with nothing more than a little attitude.

Designed to generate impulse sales, titles in this line are carefully balanced for gift giving, self-purchase, or collecting. Little Books may be small in size, but they''re big in titles and sales.

In Telling It Like It Isn''t, the first Dilbert Little Book, Dilbert and his friends exhibit their mastery of the fine art of interpersonal communications. With help from Dogbert and the rest of the gang, Dilbert packs this little book with big laughs.

Cartoons from the comic strip "Dilbert" feature the hapless engineer and his cynical canine companion, Dogbert.

Another collection of comics about the work-place antics of Dilbert and his co-workers.

From mountain and valley, from hill and dale, people are asking, "How can I have more Dilbert in my life?" Help is at hand with a blast from the past in Scott Adams'' very first compilation of Dilbert comic strips, Always Postpone Meetings with Time-Wasting Morons. It is tempting to compare Adams'' work to that of Leonardo da Vinci. The differences are striking. Adams displays good jokes and strong character development, whereas da Vinci has been skating for years on his ability to do shading. Advantage: Adams. And though it may seem boorish to point this out, da Vinci wrote backwards. And he''s dead. Advantage: Adams. The choice is clear. Fans looking for a book which will stand the test of time, even beyond the time you spend flipping through it in the bookstore (for which the author receives no royalties whatsoever), should buy this book. Those who are not good comparison shoppers can buy the Mona Lisa.

Dogbert, the domineering pet of a nerdy engineer in the nationally syndicated Dilbert comic strip, gives advice on such diverse niceties as elevator etiquette, rudeness warning signs, discouraging a serial talker, and knowing what to say about open zippers and bad hairpieces.
