A pristine first printing signed by the artist with a drawing of Dogbert.

The fourth Dilbert book. The second Dilbert strip compilation.

From the publisher:

Hot on the heels of Dogbert's Clues for the Clueless, this new Dilbert collection will be widely welcomed by fans of that attention-grabbing comic which appears in 175 newspapers nationwide. Don't miss incompetent, socially inept technohead Dilbert and his megalomaniac pet Dogbert as they try to not only survive in but rule the world.

Scott Adams' reputation suffered in his later years, but throughout the nineties, his mordant workplace comic strip was consistently funny, resonated with any employee and was hugely popular.

While working at Pacific Bell, devoting time to building a new career, Adams woke up every day at 4 a.m. and spent time on various endeavors; cartooning proved to be the most successful of them. In 1989, while still employed at Pacific Bell, Adams launched Dilbert with United Media. The workplace strip gained popularity. It was syndicated in 100 newspapers in 1991 and 400 by 1994.

Adams's success grew, and he became a full-time cartoonist as Dilbert reached 800 newspapers. In 1997, Adams won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist and Best Newspaper Comic Strip. By 2000, the comic was in 2,000 newspapers in 57 countries and 19 languages.

His comic strips were adapted as an animated television series, which premiered in January 1999 and ran for two seasons on UPN. Adams served as executive producer and showrunner, along with Seinfeld writer Larry Charles. The show earned a Primetime Emmy Award in 1999.
