For the American reading public the Uncle John‘s brand and the Bathroom Readers’ Institute need no introduction. Their previous books have sold over five million copies in the US, and Gordon, Jay and Trina at Portable Press specialise in bringing together the weird and the wacky—diverse tales of bizarre stunts, stories, theories, and the strange doings of the human species in general. For this 2015 “Epic” edition, each story covered two, three or four pages, with each story demanding its own treatment, tailored within the overall design.
