Not much to say about this book except that I have had my copy since, about, 1996/7 and it is one of the most used books in my collection. A first-rate "source-book". Packed with pictures, diagrams and maps - forbye text!! - Plenty of references for further research. Most useful both for the casual investigator and the serious student. Well worth the money.

This book is a gem of kn owledge. Bought as a present for someone very interested in Egyptian, this has wider coverage than many other texts which concentrate on specific parts. Therefore very useful for a detailed overview.
Listmania!
