| The following list of books is from my own library or
from those purchased by other users of this web site. Some are
available "new", some are available "used", and
some are no longer available. When a book can be bought
through Amazon, either new or used, I have included a link to the
appropriate order page.
Just so you will know... If you buy a "new" book
immediately upon clicking on one of these links, or if you browse
through Amazon and buy other books after having clicked through from
this site, we receive a small commission. If you buy a
used book we receive a very small commission.
But despite that, I have included all links that we could find,
new or used, as I think building up a library of Egyptian books is a
pleasure, and there are some great ones available on the used
market.
Therefore, I wish you much joy in your search for additions to
your own library.
