BOOK CORNER

If you are like me and enjoy reading books on ancient Egypt, I’m sure you will agree that it can get really confusing when you are browsing through the ancient Egyptian selection at your local bookshop thinking to yourself which one should I buy?

If I was given a penny for every time one of my Undergraduate students asked me what are the best books to buy? I would now be a very rich women. Basically I believe that the type of book that you should purchase should reflect your very own personal level of knowledge. If you are just starting out then I suggest that you buy a couple of good, well illustrated introduction books that cover all the areas of ancient Egyptian history, books that have lots of pictures and illustrations.

To help all you ancientegyptamanics get a better idea about the type of books that are available out there in the shops, the Book Corner has been divided into four sections, which should help you to get a foundation in the topic and also act as a reference tool for future reading.
