An Outhouse by Any Other Name

Summary: A real gem
Review: I found this book quite by accident several months ago, and since then have given over ten as gifts. I never thought I'd like a book about outhouses, but this one is a real gem. The photos are very creative and evocative: Thomas Harding knows his stuff, as his years with the Bachrach Photographers can attest to. He's paired these lovely photos (of not-so-lovely subjects) with quotes from great literature, pulled out of context in the most hilarious ways. My favorite one is a picture of a "two-holer" paired with a classic Edmund Waller quote: "My joy, my grief, my love,/Did all within this circle move!" Give this book a chance, you'll be glad you did.
