Synopsis
An attractively presented guide to ancient Egypt designed to help travellers get the best out of their visit. In an enthusiastic Foreword, T. G. H. James praises the author for `understanding the needs of visitors' for guidance in what they will see, and for the background information and confidence in the subject `to make a visit to Egypt a truly enriching experience'. Sounds like the book to recommend to friends going on a `Swan'. Full of colour pictures and attractive tinted drawings. Hb, 190pp, 184 illus, 65 in col. (Thames & Hudson, 1987)
