Okay, we know it sounds like some trashy novelty book, but trust us - this book is really great!

As the title states - this is a book about toilets, and what better anthropological insight into design and the human condition could there possibly be?

Take an eyebrow raising tour of powder rooms and privys across our staggeringly diverse globe. An extraordinary variety of designs seem to exist, from miniature log cabins in the Canadian wilderness to state-of-the-art cubicles in Japan, and from huts on stilts in the Caribbean to solar-powered sanitary ware in New Zealand.
