Product Description

There's probably no other building that's as necessary--or seemingly unglamorous--as the outhouse. But as they vanish from the American landscape, outhouses, believe it or not, have a growing following, as we wax nostalgic about our past.

"Ode to the Outhouse" is a fun, humorous look at privies. With a short story ("The Specialist" by Charles Sale), a chapter on funny outhouse postcards, color photographs of visually interesting outhouses, and cartoons and drawings by Bob Artley and Eric Sloane, this book pays tribute to the real deal: outdoor plumbing without the plastic, sanitized frills.
