Temples of Convenience and Chambers of Delight cover

Lucinda Lambton has driven over 40,000 miles all over Britain to bring together a collection of the most unusual lavatories. Sometimes taking up to seven hours for a shot, she has produced a fantastic selection of images that have made lavatories and their history not only fascinating but beautiful too. Updated and revised, this is the third edition of her successful and seminal work on the history of the loo.

'This book...is, as they say, worth every penny'. The Guardian'This loving look at lavatories is a landmark in latrine literature'. Chicago Tribune
