Also included are the amusing answers to common outhouse questions, including*Why were crescent moons carved into outhouse doors?*What determined the size and shape of an outhouse?*Should outhouse doors open inward or outward?*What was used in outhouses in the years before toilet paper?Part photographic journey, part trivia, this delightful look at Florida's outhouses will make readers truly privy to a beloved structure that's quickly vanishing from the landscape.About the AuthorKevin McCarthy has been a professor of English and Florida studies at the University of Florida, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Turkey, a Fulbright Scholar in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia and a student of Arabic in Cario, Egypt.
