A great book,written by oneof the leading experts on amulets 24 Aug 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I had the pleasure of hearing the author lecture at an Egyptian conference at the Brooklyn Museum a few years ago. Her fascinatiing text and brilliant slides lose none of their impact as they find their way into print in this handsome little book. Some of Ancient Egypt's most beautiful and magical objects are the smallest in size, as evidenced by the amulets shown here by Ms. Andrews. Required reading for all Egypto-philes!

Egyptian Amulets 10 Jun 2007
By Friend of Egypt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Still the best comprehensive reference on the subject.

"Amulets" covers a broad range of concepts and ideas that demonstrate what it meant to BE an ancient Egyptian. A superb account of gods, myths, legends, materials used, and most importantly, symbolism. The 112 pages are filled with excellent black & white and color close-ups demonstrating the great skills of the ancient craftsmen.

A great little book that every Egyptologist has on their bookshelf! Goes nicely with Cyril Aldred's "Jewels of the Pharaoh's" Jewels of the Pharaohs: Egyptian Jewelry of the Dynastic Period

Good Survey Book 4 Aug 2004
By J. Babcock - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I used this book for my senior thesis in college. While the information is more or less generalized, Andrews still adequately covers the majority of Egyptian amulets in existence. It's definitely a great survey book about amulets from the pre-dynastic to the Graeco-Roman period.

Another plus is that it includes numerous color plates of different kinds of amulets from different periods in Egyptian history.
