Waste of money:
This tiny book is a waste of money. It is sloppily done, and inaccurate. Even its "alphabet in alphabetical order" is not in any alphabetical order that I have ever seen, and is missing a few letters of the Egyptian alphabet.

Rotten Waste of Money!:
This book is 48 pages. What you can't know until this title comes in the mail is that those pages are each about palm of hand size. Each page has one symbol, (some drawn poorly, to boot!) with a sentence about the significance of each. In total, there are only about 30 symbols covered. That is about .20 cents per hieroglyphic. I cannot say enough negative things about this pamphlet. The information provided is found within the first page or so of any self respecting book on the Ancient Egyptian language. Save yourself the money and the frustration. Instead, check out "How To Read Egyptian Heiroglyphics" by Mark Collier.

A Great Resource for the Egyptophile!:
This book I have found to be a great resource. As a person who has admired everything Egyptian, I find this book to be a great help in deciphering hieroglyphics, translating Egyptian art and jewelry and learning the ancient Egyptian language. I also was able to discover my name in Hieroglyphics! A great book and very handy for that future trip to Egypt!

Egyptian Hierochlyphics & Their Meaning, 2nd Edition:
This book is cursory, to say the best about it, and close to useless to say the worst. It looks like something you'd find in the checkout line at the grocery store. Its pictures are simplistic and its information is less than minimal. I wasted good money. Look for something more substantive!

Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Their Meanings, 2nd Edition:
This is a great guide for children of all ages. I gave a copy to my nephew and he loves it! He even writes to his friends in hieroglyphic codes. I highly recommend it.
