Book Review of The Best of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader

The Best of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


A fine sampling from the first seven Bathroom Reader Books plus a 150 or so more pages of new info. Lots of good Elvis trivia, including the story and reprinting of the letter Elvis wrote to President Nixon. My favorite part of this whole book though is the reprinting of the first crossword puzzle ever (and, of course, the story behind it). It seriously made me emotional and gave me chills to solve it.
Overall, if you've never had the exquisite opportunity to read an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, this is a fine place to start.
