5.0 out of 5 stars book for everyone, 13 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This book is great for egyptology students or someone just interested in the subject. It contains loads of entries, including general subjects (women, warfare) as well as people, places and specific items (false door in tombs). To the student, it gives you a breif outline and starting point and for any beginners to the subject you could easily flick through at your own pace and learn something new every day. Each entry also has a great bibliography if you need further information. A great all rounder.
