The Dilbert Principle: A Cubicle's Eye View of Bosses, Meetings, Management Fads and Other Workplace Afflictions, written and illustrated by cartoonist Scott Adams (Harper Business, $18), is a joy to pick up and laugh with. The author finds an apparent unending source of humour in the business world from material submitted by his loyal readers. Not only is the text a clever bit of writing but his cartoon illustrations are riotous. The cast of characters include Dogbert, Catburt and his co-workers who are foils for Dilbert and his creator, Scott Adams.
