CC Bathroom Readers' Institute (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 30, 2009

Now in a toilet-shape die-cut, the perfect gift for the 68% of Americans who read in the bathroom—or anyone with a quirky sense of humor. Packed with lively and compulsive reading, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader is adapted from the Bathroom Reader book series. Here is a year of riddles, offbeat trivia, strange inventions, and so-weird-they’ve-got-to-be-true stories. Spaced-Out Sports, cell phone elbow and other odd medical conditions, and big Broadway flops, such as 1976's Rockabye Hamlet, featuring the "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Boogie." Plus the Mitsubishi Lettuce and other foreign car names unlikely to debut in the U.S.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fraud: Page-A-Day Minus 52, January 2, 2010

For many years now, I have been buying Uncle John's Page-A-Day Bathroom Reader for myself and giving it to relatives as gifts. Everybody gets such a kick out of it. You can imagine my surprise this year when our mainstay Page-A-Day calendar combined Saturdays and Sundays. For someone like me who thinks Page-A-Day means Page-A-Day, this is outright fraud.

This year's "cute" round shape adds nothing. This year's micro thin paper adds nothing. But this year's subtraction of Sundays means I will never buy the calendar again.

I guess the folks at Workman Publishing now define "Page-A-Day" as "anything we make." I wonder at the greed that led them to take a superior product, substitute appearance for substance, and ruin it. It's such a shame!

Bought this for my brother, he can't go a day without flipping the page. He even saves the pages for future reference. Well worth the price. Will buy again for next year.
