The Specialist

I remember first reading this book in 1959 at the age of 13. I found it among other similar books given to my parents by my great gandmother. Thought I would die laughing each night under the covers reading as Charles Sale revealed the truths about the family three-holer. Somehow long ago I lost touch with that book and its title. Now, when my wife an I rummage through antique book stores I look and try to find "The Specialist" the title I'd long forgotten. Today, in a little out of the way antique shop in Burnet Texas, there it was, hidden among other dusty and dirty books on a shelf. Fifth Printing, inscribed Nancy, St Mary's College, Dallas Sept 23, 1929. Sorry, Amazon, this is one time you lost the sale I'm happy to report. Larry M., Austin, Texas...

A giggle and a handy tech manual for sanitation engineers

I am a water and sanitation engineer in developing countries where the "privy" and how to build it, is a subject of fierce debate among engineers and privy owners. I was given this book by a friend who thought it funny that I designed loos for a living! If I could recommend one course book for all wastewater engineers this would be it. Interesting insight into US folk stories and "hygiene practise". The specialist seems like such a likeable guy too.

A funny, funny book

For anyone who has ever lived in a house with an outhouse this is one of the funniest books ever written. For the first time reader it is a real belly laugher. For anyone who plans to build an outhouse it would serve them well to read this book first. Although tremendously funny, it contains a lot of good ideas on the best way to build one.

I have an original 4th printing in excellent condition,

There is a hand written inscription inside to A Captain Robert C. Padley dated Sept. 7, 1929. I was wondering if there is any value to this book
