Uhohjericho: My stepdad has been reading these books for years! He loves them! He's also the best trivia player I know. I think it has a lot do with these books!

CopperCarla: Great cover artwork and material choice, and of course great content as usual, but the font size for the main body text inside should be upped by 2 points or so for comfortable reading. We’ve owned several Uncle John books, and this is the first one I have an issue with.
I wear +1.25 reader magnification glasses for all computer and reading activities, just need that little bit of help (just had eyes checked 2 weeks ago, and that’s what the doctor ordered). I found this book type uncomfortable to read, so on a whim I put a second set of readers over the first (1.25 + 1.25 = 2.50) and that was *so* much better for the text-heavy passages. Smaller passages are OK to read, but the longer, denser paragraphs end up tiring the eyes.
As someone who works in a publishing-related position, I’m very attuned to issues like this, especially as I get older. Brighter light can help make smaller text easier to read, but who wants 20,000 lumens in their bathroom?
Otherwise, keep creating great and entertaining content!

Nalexa: Its a very interesting reader, I ended up reading it even if I bought it at first to give to my family members as a Christmas gift, I bought 4 of it to give away. AWSOME

Derek G: I've been a fan of this series since I started using the toilet on my own. So since I was about 22. Even then flushing still frightened me so I found UJBR to be oddly comforting. Even just wadding up and chewing on a page or two helped keep me calm for the flush. Something in the ink? Perhaps.
If the Institute keeps popping these bad boys out every year I'll keep buying them. Buy this book. Read it. Love it.

Rob: Love these books (I’m 50 y)! Been collecting them since coming across one while working at a school. I’ve learned an abundance of useful knowledge from them over the years (lost almost all in house fire; slowly building collection back)! ALWAYS keep a couple in -where?- the bathroom!
I highly recommend for young and old! Something in all for everyone!

Amazon Customer: Bought this book for my husband who is really enjoying it. He has read several of the Uncle John bathroom readers and finds this one quite informative and entertaining.

Waldo22: Love this book. I have purchases at least 15 copies of Johns Bathroom readers over the years. A new one is issued every year and I try to get it as a Christmas present. After I read mine I give it to my daughter and grandson. I will continue to purchase these books as the years go on.

Kingstonian: Disappointing that this year it is 20% fewer pages and was more expensive than past volumes. Same kind of content that I expected for the past 33 years.
