Description

Even life’s simplest moments deserve a breathtaking backdrop… Discover 100 lavish lavatories and outstanding outhouses that offer a window to our world.

Who knew the loo could offer such a view? From Tokyo’s transparent public toilets to the sand-swept privy in the Namib desert; Abraham Lincoln’s 1850’s outhouse to a barren bog on Bolivia’s Altiplano; it’s time to see more of our amazing planet from the ‘best’ seat in the house.

Inside Toilets of the World:

100 weird and wonderful toilets around the world
Features fun illustrations, photos and entertaining descriptions for every ‘throne’
Divided into chapters by continent with every toilet marked on one of five maps
Includes a timeline of historic bogs from 3000 BCE in Asia’s Indus Valley to today’s high-tech toilets in Japan
Lists of must-visit, famous, extreme and contemporary loos
Written by Patrick Kinsella: author, editor, photographer and journalist who specialises in scribbling stories about walking. And toilets…

Compact and colourful this cornucopia of commodes is a must-buy for anyone who can find beauty in the most unexpected of places.
