Summary

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.
