| Editorial Review | A godsend ... I am sure that Champollion would approve' - Minerva 'A refreshingly new approach to the subject ... beautifully produced and illustrated in a manner that should make it appealing not only to the complete beginner at whom it is aimed, but also to those with a basic knowledge wishing to refresh their skills. I recommend it highly' - Ancient Egypt Magazine 'Ever wanted to learn about Egyptian hieroglyphs? Here's the book for you!' - Guardian |
