Outhouses: Images & Contemplations

by Londie G. Padelsky

To muster the smart brigade of one hundred outhouses exhibited in this book, eight dedicated photographers headed by Londie Padelsky have fanned out over the boggy backways of our nation and rallied into service stalwart sentinels of every style and state of repair. Each redolent image in Images and Contemplations is ornamented by an aid to contemplation in words whether seasoned aphorism (Cicero), subtle arrière-pensée (La Fontaine), inverted innuendo (Swift), cutting couplet (Pope), or purgative panegyric (Roethke) all tastefully selected to gratify the large philosophico-poetic appetites that are awakened by the Littlest House on the Prairie.

This was an excellent reference for when we were designing our privy. Now it has its place near the throne for relaxing contemplation ;)
