Summary: Review on Ancient Egypt
Review: I don't think that this book contains the right amount of information on ancient Egypt. If I had the chance I would get my money back!!

Summary: Informative but dull
Review: It is a good read for people with recent encountering with Egypt. But I was little appalled because information seemed dull. Book will give you facts and names but there isn't much more. Colorful images will attract your attention but I really believe those images have interesting legend and tales by their own.

Summary: A Great Book For Beginners
Review: This book is very easy to read in both text, and maps are excellent and easy to read. This is an excellent item to use for reference. However, to compress so much History into one volume does neither the atlas or Egyptian History justice. However, as a reference item, this is an excellent item.

Summary: Interesting idea
Review: This book provides a great deal of information on 3000 years of Egyptian history in an unusual format. The book consists of many single-page essays on a particular topic or period, with the essay on the left side of the page, and the corresponding map on the other side of the page, which illustrates what's going on in the text. It's sort of an interesting way to write a history book of ancient Egypt, and I thought it worked out pretty well. Although not your typical history, it's still an interesting and useful book, especially for getting a quick overview of a particular subject or topic.

Summary: No the best
Review: This book seems to suffer from trying to compress too much information into too slim a paperback. There are better atlases available
