The Bathroom Readers’ Institute Ashland, Oregon, and San Diego, California OUR “REGULAR” READERS RAVE “Before the BRI came along, I had a small library of just books. After BRI, I now have a great library filled with incredible books.” —Green S. “I just happened to see one of these sitting on the back of a friend’s toilet one time 8 years ago. Instead of reading the shampoo bottle, I picked this up. I have been hooked every since.” —Angela D. “Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers are the entire reason I started collecting rubber ducks. I have over seventy.” —Sara C. “My hubby was on a couple of game shows, and I know we can thank his love of the Bathroom Reader books for the winnings.” —Donna E. “I have them all, and cherish every one! My 20th anniversary edition sadly fell into the (clean) toilet. I managed to dry it out sufficiently enough to continue reading.” —Butch H. “My friend in school was reading Bathroom Readers, so then I bought a couple, and now my mom says I’m just threatening her with my intelligence.” —Chase O. “Your Bathroom Reader is like a high-powered flush—it sucks you in. I drink more liquids so I can make more pit stops. Thanks for all the fun!” —Kara D. UNCLE JOHN’S BATHROOM PLUNGES INTO NEW YORK Copyright © 2011 by Portable Press. All rights reserved.
