Discover toilets that are beautiful, bizarre, extravagant and utterly unexpected. Spanning continents, cultures and centuries, this eye-opening collection proves that the humble loo can be far more fascinating than you might imagine. Packed with striking photography, curious facts and entertaining stories, Flush goes beyond the toilet seat to uncover the surprising history, culture and ingenuity behind these remarkable objects.

A wonderfully unusual gift for loo seat travellers, trivia lovers and anyone who appreciates the extraordinary in the everyday - because when it comes to loos, there's a whole world out there to explore.
