This review is from: The Queens of Ancient Egypt (Treasures of Ancient Egypt) (Hardcover)
I'll just say right now that I buy books mainly for the pictures. I'm an illustrator and large, detailed photos are excellent reference be it animals, architecture, or antiquities. So, in the case of "The Queens of Ancient Egypt", other than the titles of the photographs, I haven't read a single word of this book. So, if you're interested in a review of the text and anything having anything to do with the text, my review is of no help to you. BUT, I will say that the quality of the images i this book are, as far as I have seen, unrivaled - thus, I would have to say that the photos alone are worth the cover price. This is hands down the best collection of ancient Egyptian imagery I have seen (and I have seen a LOT of books on this subject). The detail and quality of the pictures is tremendous - there are exquisitely detailed pictures of jewelry, statues, reliefs, sarcophagi, and hieroglyphs - it's just phenomenal. And the amount of imagery in the book is likewise tremendous. So, if you're looking for great, detailed pictures of all things ancient Egypt - whether for reference or simply to enjoy the beauty of ancient Egyptian artwork - I can not recommend this book enough!
