Gorgeously Made Book!
I just received my copy yesterday and I have to say I much more than pleasantly surprised. The book doesn't seem extra special when browsing through the info about it on Amazon or looking at it through Amazon's "Look Inside" feature.

Every chapter, which includes extensive bibliographical references, was written either by an Egyptologist or by a ...
