Lovely book -- full of beautiful photographs and illustrations. Each topic presented has a two page layout. As I prepare for a trip to Egypt next year, it's a great pleasure to read about several topics over morning coffee before I launch into the day's work.
However . . . as another reviewer below noted, there are some inaccurate measurements on pyramid height. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is listed in the book at 100 ft (60 meters). 100 feet would be 30.48 meters. Then when I looked up its height, it's actually 205 feet (62.5 meters). The book's listed height for the Pyramid of Khaefre is also wrong. After finding wrong facts on these pyramids, I find myself looking up other things, but haven't found anything else "off." I still think this is a great book for my Egyptian trip prep, and I am truly enjoying it.
