2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 6 Feb 2005
By N. R. Dunlavey (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this thinking it would be a handy portable grammar reference I could use when I couldn't carry Gardiner with me. Even at my basic level of learning I've found some mistakes in it, so have to conclude that the stuff I don't know is flaky as well, so I've thrown mine away :(

Oh, and why the spurious section on Mayan stuff? Why merge the two into a single book?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Insight into the Subject, 31 May 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
For anyone interested in hieroglyphics this small book would be a good starting point. As it says on the back of the book it gives a simplified look at how these languages work and how they are written. The symbols in the book are also a good guide to help you with drawing your own hieroglyphics.

i agree with one of the other reviewers that perhaps another publication would have been better for the Mayan side of the subject.

I think the book is aimed at the curious or casual observer of hieroglyphics rather than the academic and as such it serves its purpose. However there is still plenty of information within its pages and I thought the book was well worth owning.

4.0 out of 5 stars the review of how to teach yourself hieroglyphics, 6 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Hieroglyphics (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
this book entails many small pieces of informations essential to a person trying to learn hieroglyphics for personal or educational purposes.it does however lack the information reuired if using this for planning a trip to egypt to test out the learning qualities as it doesnt teach you how to use them and where.
this book is however very educational for leisure and school. well worth the money. thatc is my opinion.
