Lonely Planet Toilets of the World

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! 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.
