Ahahahaha, I have that book, and it is AWESOME. And terrifying, at the same time. The antique baby potties alone were worth the price of admission. I swear, people used to have such insane hang-ups about kids' poop.

All of Lileks's stuff is a panic. I also have "The Gallery of Regrettable Food," and I bust up every time I read it, and I don't recommend eating or drinking whilst perusing his website.
