In this chapter, the author remarked upon which of the bathrooms referenced here and in Ulysses he’s personally used.
I think having multiple viewpoints on this is important - no book aspiring to be even twice the length of the Wake itself could capture a majority of its references - but I think a more modern one than Tindall’s would be more valuable.

Not as good as the Campbell. Tindall occasionally tries to show off his own erudition or word-smithing and, trust me, while trying to ingest Finnegans Wake the last thing you want is more pretension and complexity. He also at least once says he doesn’t know what a word means, despite that word being explained in the Campbell, which he says he read in his introduction.
