Inhaltsangabe:

This is the very first book on the bidet in the English language. It is possible this is the first book ever published on this topic, anywhere. There are no books on bidets in the U.S. Library of Congress. There is no book available at Amazon, not on eBay, no book Google or Yahoo. Except this one. And this book has the most information on the bidet, anywhere. For book collectors this will be a historic, valuable first edition.

This book tells everything there is to know about bidets. It demystifies and introduces the reader to every type, every use, and every aspect of the various forms of the bidet. The Bidet paints a good picture - that most everyone who actually tries a bidet, will love it, and then they will wonder why they hadn’t tried this before. There is a reason why you find bidets in the Presidential Suites of top hotels - but you can easily own a better bidet than that. The Bidet tells you what they are and where to get them.

Everything known about the bidet is covered. A comprehensive consumer’s guide of bidet manufacturers lists bidets from each manufacturer and which features each bidet unit supports. The book also has full contact information for all bidet manufacturers, as well as major web re-sellers. This alone is worth the price of the book. This book will enable you to choose the best bidet for your pocketbook and your personal needs.

• Classic bidets, French bidets, bidet a syringe
• Shower toilets, TSBs (toilet seat bidets)
• Handheld units easily attached to the toilet
• Amazingly compact, but very useful portable bidets

All these bidets use surprisingly small amounts of water to wash your derriere clean. Bidets are an amazingly, luxuriously, sybaritically pleasant way to keep yourself very, very clean. This book presents and documents the medical literature that largely supports the many health benefits that bidet users claim.

Finally, the way we currently process our waste involves huge ecological costs that can mostly avoided by using bidets. Startling statistics are presented on the wastefulness of toilet paper, that using bidets you actually end up using less water. The real bottom line is that bidets are cheaper to operate, paying themselves off in a few years.

All the various forms of the bidet are described and their operation fully explained: how each different type of bidet works, its advantages and disadvantages, including how they are installed, and how they are used. There are a number of amusing (but very illustrative) anecdotes about bidets scattered throughout the book. It is an operating manual for using a bidet neatly and effectively.

"The Bidet" brings clarity to a confusing bidet marketplace. This book received significant support from the bidet industry while it was being written, but is an independent work that surveys the industry as a whole. "The Bidet" takes an even-handed look at bidets, while making a pretty objective consumer report on what is in the marketplace.

The Many Benefits of The Bidet

This book describes the many benefits of the bidet for sheer comfort, personal cleanliness, perianal health, good ecology, and superior economy.

Bidets are an easy way to improve your body’s health. First of all, your derriere is much cleaner, and thus more comfortable. Those of us who suffer from conditions in our (perianal) nether quarters especially benefit from bidets’ treatment.. There are many medical benefits listed in this book that support the therapeutic use of bidets.

Finally, bidets are much cheaper to use than toilets, and using a bidet benefits our environment in a number of ways. Prices vary, and usually reflect the quality of the bidet, but a very functional bidet can be quite inexpensive. This book helps you to find the right bidet for you, and then tells where you can buy it.

Who has a bidet? Much of the civilized world has already embraced one form of the bidet or another. Many Europeans have grown up with them for generations. Most Japanese now have one. Many countries around the world have some form of a bidet. Not many Americans have one - yet. Travelers return from abroad raving about the bidet’s seductive graces. Once you experience a bidet, you will become a convert.

One bidet manufacturer surveyed Americans and found 88% of those who tried their bidet were favorably impressed, and 76% said they wanted to buy one.

Addressing Taboo Subjects: This book sensitively addresses subjects that are often shunned and taboo in our culture. These are subjects that many do not like to talk about, yet are essential for top health and well-being. Wry and humorous anecdotes about bidets, their relation to our derrieres, and their use (and misuse) help defuse this difficult subject area, and keep the text light and compelling. Numerous testimonials support the bidets’ claims of pleasant efficacy, and give solid reasons to purchase a bidet.

This book is a tremendous bargain. It will repay its purchase price many times over by enabling you to find and purchase the best bidet for your needs. Once you have a bidet, you will be putting money back into your pocket every time you use it. Users feel a lot better and healthier once they start using a bidet, and this book tells you how.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Our initial products are books and posters that fulfill my publishing outlook:

• Non-Fiction works that represent exhaustive and extensive research that is state-of-the-art,

• Topics (or treatments of topics) that are not readily available to the reading public,

• Well-written books that engage as well as edify.

The initial two offerings are The Bidet, the first ever book on this device and its culture in the English language. We also offer The Vegetable Gardener’s Guide, a poster that contains in condensed form all the information you need to grow a successful crop, whether you row plant or plant biointensively. Fully laminated on light card stock, this poster should last a lifetime.

Prior to founding WB Publisher I spent 19 years as a founder and manager of Bountiful Gardens, which is part of the non-profit Ecology Action. My wife and I created the Bountiful Gardens catalog as a source of un-hybridized, open-pollinated, heirloom seeds when they were really hard to find. While I was the seed manager we were usually ranked #8 or #10 in all of North America for the number of unique vegetable seeds we offered. Bountiful Gardens has helped bring back a number of classic vegetable varieties that are among the finest, but which were almost lost forever.

Bountiful Gardens has also been instrumental in helping to popularize biointensive gardening: high-yield gardening that actually improves the soil over time.Those 19 years of experience in home gardening were the basis of The Vegetable Gardener’s Guide. As an educational non-profit we have always provided a hot-line for gardening problems and questions. The poster started as a convenient, condensed chart that showed all the all the basics about starting seed, planting and growing vegetables. It was so useful that we added some classic etchings of vegetables for decoration, and printed them up. Our local nurseries love it; they are asked the same basic questions over and over, so now all they have to do is to point to the poster. Master Gardeners like it for the same reasons, over and over.Prior to Bountiful Gardens I worked for People’s Computer Company, one of the places that created and fostered the personal computer. I also worked for the promoter of the West Coast Computer Faires, legendary early gatherings that did much to popularize personal computers. That was my first experience of (being part of) doing something that has never been done before. These enterprises and several dedicated computer societies literally invented the personal computer, and made sure that they were available to everyone. It is a fascinating story about the creation of technology that has since changed the world.
