What can I say, this is a book about prefab bathrooms. I kind of thought maybe it would be some kind of post modern take on architecture books, but no, this is legitimately about the history of prefab bathrooms.

After reading Bishakh Kumar Som's Apsara Engine I went to look for more work from her. This book came up and it was too weird not to get it. I have to say, I know more about prefab bathrooms now than I ever thought that I would.

The subject matter is kind of boring, but Som's illustrations bring a good amount of life to the book. Her illustrations are toned down quite a bit for this book. I would assume that's for the intended audience and use of the book more than anything.

I'm sort of indifferent to this book. I have no interest in architecture. I just like Som's illustrations. This is a cool book to have as a conversation piece if nothing else.
