Il prezzo è buono, buone condizioni, ma mancano molte pagine e questo non era detto nell'annunçio.
The price is good, good conditions, but many pages are cut away and this wasn't said.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for students of Egyptian Art

This book wasn't an easy read by any means. But the understanding it has given me of Egyptian art, why objects and people and scenes are portrayed and appear as they do is incredible. I feel it has opened a door onto a new level of understanding of Egyptian culture.
