The Reader
In 1983 Charles Holloway of San Diego created a 32-page parody of the "Reader" called "Not The Reader." This parody (circulation 20,000) resembled its source publication in many ways, including front page format, page layout, and style of advertising (mostly all advertisements were fictional). Stories and articles were mostly attempts at humor. The editor of the real "Reader" (at that time, Jim Mullin) gave "Not The Reader" "top review grades."
