A beautiful book with swell photos and illustrations that will look great on your coffee table and won't offend your guests. An excellent addition to a thorough library on the subject, especially if you are already convinced that a commercial composting toilet is what you want.

The reason I can't give it a "5" is that I felt that, while home-brew systems are discussed, the content was a little biased towards commercial systems. When you consider that one of the two authors sold them for a living (and perhaps still does) this is less than surprising.

Contrast this to Joe Jenkins' "Humanure Handbook" (also available from Chapters) which explains a more down-to-earth approach that involves a bit more work, but can be implemented for little more than the cost of the book.

Both books include valuable sections on graywater.

If you can afford it, get 'em both. If you think expensive fibreglass will make better compost (it won't!) get this one. But if you prefer to get down to the nitty-gritty, and/or your funds are limited, go with Joe!
