Average Customer Rating: 3 (7 reviews)

Rating: 3
Summary: Definitive but poorly presented
Comment: This is an A-Z of Egyptology which will act as a definitive reference. Two downsides:
1) There is no narrative introduction to the subject, so this Encyclopedia would complement a 'history', but not replace it
2) The photographs are in black and white and are often bad quality: badly focussed, badly lit.

Rating: 1
Summary: Not worth [money] much less 10 times that amount
Comment: The problem with this encyclopedia is that it is not encyclopedic in nature. Many topics are not covered (for example, you won't find Hatshepsut's mortuary temple in it), and those that are covered are handled in a very simplistic and abbreviated (not concise, just short) way.

I cannot remember when I was so disappointed in a reference book...maybe never.

Rating: 1
Summary: Wrong Book
Comment: There is a problem here - there is an updated version of this book, available elsewhere, which (i) is longer, (ii)has more color photos, and (iii) is about 10% cheaper.
