Does anyone know how one mounts a towel rack or magazine rack that
Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware sell onto ceramic tile in a
bathroom? Do I have to drill and if so how and with what? Or is there
some sort of special cement and if so, what is it called?


Don't they give instructions with these things? They should.
Generally it is easier to drill through a line of grout, rather than
through the tile, if this will give you the desired height. The size
bit will be determined by the anchor you are using. You do want to
put adhesive (eg liquid nails) or silicone caulk into the hole before
installing anchor. The hardware supplied should allow slight
adjustment so that you can level the thing. Measure twice- at least-
drill once.
