Reviews
"Thoughtful analysis of the place of toilets in modern culture and psyche has often been as hard to find as a decent public convenience in any major Western city. Ladies and Gents is a timely and educational addition to the unheralded and hitherto sorely neglected field of toilet studies."
-Rose George, author of The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters
