After the first pages, the years start to jump around as Cacace-Beshears' souvenirs from later travels mingle with those from friends who'd felt compelled to contribute. Toilet paper from a Rhine River boat, from the train station in Geneva, from a hostel in Florence, from a Chinese restaurant in Rome, from a castle in Sweden.

And in between, newspaper articles that have to do with toilet paper or toileting.

About Otzi, for example, the well-preserved remains of a 5,300-year-old fellow that both Switzerland and Italy wanted to claim as their own kinsman when he was unearthed. A nearby swatch of moss finally settled the spat. The moss, thought to be used for personal hygiene in the iceman's days, was Italian.
