Closet Reading by Phil Norman
You may think of the toilet book as a recent phenomenon but history tells us otherwise. In this witty and tremendously well-researched new book Phil Norman traces the origins of toilet reading to Renaissance Europe and charts its rise and fall over the centuries that followed. From Sir Thomas More to Gyles Brandreth, Samuel Pepys to Ben Schott, the greatest readers and writers of lavatory literature are all here. No toilet library should be without this essential volume. This is the loo book to beat all loo books.
Phil Norman is a TV producer, writer and amateur historian. He is a co-founder of the hugely popular TV Cream website.
