In what has to be one of the most remarkable bargains in books about Egyptian archaeology and history, Egypt's Supreme Council on Antiquities has issued two volumes of essays in honor of the
late British Egyptologist, Barry J. Kemp. Topics range from date stones to insects, from footwear to flour production, and from unfinished obelisks to the use of Google Earth to identify
ancient sites. Generously illustrated with photos, site maps, and diagrams, these volumes are a treasure trove of information for students and professionals in Egyptology and archaeology. Their
exceedingly low price and high quality make them an attractive acquisition for libraries. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
