Review "This series never fails to bring a smile and is useful to those of us who spend extensive time on the commode and who aren't slaves to a smart phone. Maybe it's a very niche market, for a trivia book, but it fills it admirably and is just as good as the earliest books in the series. They have some very good editors and writers." —Librarian, via NetGalley About the Author The Bathroom Readers' Institute is a tight-knit group of loyal and skilled writers, researchers, and editors who have been working as a team for years.
