“Thermae Roma” is hard to find, copies are around $200. I came across it at the library (Multnomah County libraries have incredible selections of comics) by chance and I wish it was in every classroom. A story about the ins and outs of public baths from Rome and Japan steeped in culture shock (and era shock) with fun travelogues at the end of each chapter. The authors genuine excitement for the subject and use of humor really carries the book.
The first readthrough gets a 🛁🛁🛁🛁🛁🛁🛁🛁🛁🛁/10 for how unique and informative it is.
Second time around still gets a 8/10.
