It’s kind of amazing how someone could
take the items that we use in our bathrooms and
turn them into such a fun and interesting book,
but that is exactly what Holman Wang has done
with Bathroom Stuff. He brings detail and
attention to the otherwise humdrum things that
we take for granted, things that we don’t
care about until we run out of them.
The book features 60 mini-chapters
with text highlighting the intricate details of
the "stuff" around your bathroom. Highly
illustrated with full-color photographs, it’s
the ultimate toilet topper. This book is unique
in that it has four different covers: a rubber
duck, a set of soaps, a toothbrush, and a faucet.
Some "stuff" included
within these well-photographed pages include:
- Hair dryers
- Mouthwash
- Bathroom scales
- Shampoo
- Nail polish
One item in the book that I
especially loved was the toilet paper with the
hearts. And if you’re like me and can’t
stand to be anywhere without something to read,
the magazine holder is a must-have. The items
are highlighted with historical data and fun,
pertinent facts. I found myself wanting to go
out and buy all the things that I didn’t
have just to make my bathroom complete. You will
thoroughly enjoy reading this book.
