Review: Must own as concise overview - Great text. Bought used and condition exceeded my expectations. Great build for those familiar with actual hardcover textbooks with weight. Nice thick pages to uphold over the years to come. Great mix of written and visual presentation. As a response to reviews criticizing weight and spine build: read a textbook like this at a desk or table or at the proper angle on your lap with at least somewhat solid pillow support under the book. You’re buying a YUGE textbook. Don’t criticize the book because it doesn’t suit your preferred comfort. If you don’t know what you’re getting when you order a book like this, maybe don’t order the book. It’s a no brainer additional to any interest level of ancient Egypt, especially if you only have a general interest. The simple formatting of 2-page topics will help anyone truncate areas of interest for further study, while providing a solid temporal outline to guide research order of further introspection.
Review: Fantastic overview of Ancient Egypt - Like all DK books this is packed with photographs, maps and illustrations. The text is concise and presents a straight forward overview of ancient Egyptian history. There is nothing controversial or cutting edge in the text, no new theories. However, it is a solid base to start from and a great book for anyone interested in ancient Egypt. The pages are thick and glossy, the binding is sturdy and the front and back covers are thick and fabric covered. A dust jacket would have been nice, but the overall quality of the book far exceeds this minor quibble. Great value for the money and an excellent start for ancient Egyptian history and culture.

It is one of the best books DK has ever produced. It is the best introduction to the Pharaohs who ruled Ancient Egypt. It is Full of objective information and colorfully produced. I bought two copies—one for my daughter and another for me. It is a very comprehensive book on the period. I highly recommend it.
