Product Description
With universal appeal (everyone poops, after all), this witty, illustrated description of over two dozen dookies (each with a medical explanation written by a doctor) details what one can learn about health and well-being by studying what's in the bowl. A floater? It's probably due to a buildup of gas. Now think back on last night's dinner, a burrito perhaps? . . .All the greatest hits are here: The Log Jam, The Glass Shard, The Deja Poo, The Hanging Chad . . . the list goes on. Sidebars, trivia, over 60 euphemisms for number 2, and unusual case histories all make this the ultimate bathroom reader. Who knew you could learn so much from your poo?

 You could read this in one good sitting August 15, 2008
I purchased this book as a gag gift for my brother's 50th birthday (along with other senior citizen refuse items) and when I received it I couldn't believe how small it was. Normally I would never read a book before giving it to someone but this could be read in a matter of minutes. I found the book to be simple (which is good especially if you don't want big scientific words) and somewhat humorous. Not laugh-out-loud funny as some people think. The information was worth reading though. I don't recall my parents ever giving the "your different stools mean this..." speech. I learned a few things and now I'm aware of the health of my home through the inspection of the garbage.
 Perfect bathroom book June 21, 2008
I first heard about this book on [...] an episode of Internet Superstar, where one of the authors spoke about it with Martin Sargent. It sounded interesting, but not interesting enough to search it out. Recently, I was out with my wife Michele for dinner when I saw the book.
It's a small book, suitable for reading on the toliet, so I picked it up. Once I got home, I went to the obvious reading spot and began to read. Happily, it's actually an informative book, explaining a lot about poo and why people encounter such a variety of poops. 95 small pages long, the book contains a ton of good, easily understandable info on poo.
After reading the book, I'm planning to make sure to eat a bit more fiber and drink a bit more water to be nice to my colon. If you see the book, pick it up, you won't regret it.
book on poo June 17, 2008
as a lay person just curious about your "innerds" this is a good quick
read. it's full of great medical facts and answers to some, well...
embarresing questions.
When the doctor asks you, "have your stools been normal"... June 16, 2008
having read this book, you'll be able to answer intelligently. It is certainly worthwhile for that. Keep it clean though so you can (re)use it as a gift.

I ordered this book after it was reommended by a health and lifestyle writer in an aricle published in my Daily Newspaper. Its amusing and a great gag gift, but not as medically detailed as I would have prefered. It has already been re-gifted.
