Modern design of toilets (what we call bathrooms) is the subject of this colorful volume, which begins with a brief overview of toilet history and design. The rest of the book is divided into
sections by location: toilets in cafes & restaurants, bars & clubs, hotels, showrooms & administrative buildings, theatrical locations, and public toilets. Each entry presents
several color plates, a floor plan, and text that describes design details of the toilet, and the setting (e.g. a particular restaurant or hotel). Whimsical inserts present information about
toilets in the ancient world, toilets in literature and film, museums of toilets, and more. Annotation 穢2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
