Book Reviews of Toilets of the WorldBook Review: Before You 'Go'.... Summary: 4 Stars
Although the title (Toilets of the World) may not grab you, it is one of the more interesting little travel books I've seen in some time. The photos are terrific and the information is invaluable. If you are planning an overseas trip and want to experience the true local flavors, you should consult this book so as to avoid what could be some unpleasant culture shock before you get there. Remember the 'Seinfeld' episode where Geroge would not use a bathroom during the trip to India? This book will help you understand why he had a problem with that. This book also contains some terrific snapshots of worldwide culture that my high school students find fascinating - an impetus for them to take a closer look at the different areas of the world.
Book Review: Fascinating... Summary: 5 Stars
This book was purchased as a humorous gift for a family member, but I am seriously considering purchasing another copy for myself and displaying it prominently on my bookshelf. It is fascinating to me to see how other cultures differ from ours in this most basic function. The photos are great as well. I've never thought of toilets as artistic before, but this book may have changed my opinion.
Book Review: Amusing and an eye-opening account of various toilet facilities Summary: 5 Stars
"Toilets of the World" is a quick read, funny, and informative on an otherwise senstive subject. You will know what to expect when you need to go to the "toilet" (or lack of what you would consider a toilet) in different countries. Some are full service appliances and others make you want to run. If you travel around the globe, you'll want to read this book first.
Book Review: Bet you can't put it down Summary: 5 Stars
Informative, enlightening and fun. There is a point when you'll say,"I'd like to see that", and you never thought you'd ever say that about a toilet. Any book that can do that is worth a read, maybe even while you're on the throne.
Book Review: Plumbers Will Love This Book! Summary: 5 Stars
My husband is a retired plumber. I bought this as a retirement gift and he has it in his bathroom, (Where else?)and I often hear him chuckling. Full of interesting facts, beautiful pictures (if you're a plumber). A great gift.
