This book is 20 years old (and you can tell), but I highly recommend it as bathroom reading, especially for those with some experience travelling abroad.

Informative and funny. Most of the book was a collection of personal stories about toilets and different bathroom experiences around the world. The rest was mostly practical, such as detailed steps for getting into and out of a squat, how to clean one's self with water instead of toilet paper and what to do about privacy when there is none. I enjoyed it.
