A great pocket companion

To put it simply, this is a neat book! For its size, the illustrations and photographs are great and really enjoyable to look at. Perhaps not a good source for detailed information about Egypt, but general information regarding the art and artifacts are very useful and trivial. A perfect handbook to carry with you where ever you go, and fairly priced despite its enduring quality. A must buy for readers just interested or even proffesional. Beware, some information may be outdated in the 2002 issue.

Wonderful Pictures
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I bought this book simply for its pictures!! They are great! They are large, sharp - especially given their size, and they are taken from unique angles. The book does not intend to be a comprehensive reference book on ancient egyptian history. its aim is to capture many of the various unique aspects of ancient egypt. i would have liked more full page(s) pictures.a must buy if you are collecting books on ancient egypt and in the category of pictures! be informed that there are two pictures of explicit sex scenes. it is rare that u will see egyptian artifacts showing egyptian sex scenes, let alone explicit ones. so, be not shocked, the ancient egyptians were human afterall, or weren't they??!!
