What a great title to sum up this book. It has a little bit of everything so you can use it to read and go back to. You can skip around and therefore reading or leaving it in the bathroom for your guest is a good way of explaining it. To further that thinking, it's also great when you're waiting for an appointment or on the train. Interesting stories and quotes. Various bits of everything.

The first bathroom book I read. This is the British version of the Great American Bathroom Book. Although I don't own it, my parents bought it at Restoration Hardware one Christmas and dare I say that many of us have read it over the years...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. There is a massive effort to condense a whole book or biography into a few pages which is convenient if you need to refresh your memory and even better for Reading material in the loo.

a book with hidden philosophy and easy to diggest
