OUR “REGULAR” READERS RAVE!
“Thank you for helping me get an ‘A’ in my college speech class. We had to do an impromptu tribute speech and I chose
Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader
for my subject. I actually made my professor laugh all through the speech.”

“Several years ago, for Father’s Day, we sent my Dad a gift certificate to a book store. He purchased a
Bathroom Reader
. We continued to send gift certificates; he continued to buy
Bathroom Readers
. When he passed away last year, my mom gave me his collection. He had 7. Since then, I’ve started buying more volumes. My son, Mitchell, even bought
Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader For Kids Only
with his own money. Now three generations of my family enjoy your books.”

“I received an e-mail from your staff welcoming me to the BRI family. It said if I wanted to be flushed, I should tell you. Never—and I say never—flush me. Thanks to your books I keep my friends amazed with the info I know. I give you credit for teaching me more stuff then I learned in school.”

“It’s perfect for any occasion. When we needed a house warming gift, we got an
Uncle John’s
. When we needed Christmas presents, we gave
Uncle John’s
. We were invited to a birthday party for three men and needed gifts for all three. Not knowing what they liked or needed, we bought three
Bathroom Readers
! The response?… They can’t stop talking about it. Thank you.”

“You’re the best thing to happen to the reading room since indoor plumbing and store-bought tissue (them cornhusks can get mighty rough you know!) Keep up the good work and Go with the Flow!”
