Customer Reviews

For those that never read
If you have even spent a little time in your life reading newspapers, magazines, the net, etc you will have seen 99% of these trivia lists and items. Save your money so you can buy a better quality toilet paper.

Good, but a lot of typos
The only reason this book gets four stars instead of the full five is because it is kind of heavy on the typographical errors. They seem noticeable and frequent. Otherwise, this latest installment is awesome!

Tradtion of great trivia is beginning to fade
I'm a great fan of the Bathroom Institute books, but with this volume, they are beginning to get a little thin. (It seemed there was a lot of Canadian trivia--interesting for a Canadian but not so much for an American). Hopefully they are taking their time with the next issue to give us material that is more in line with their tradition of great trivia.
