An Amazing Little Guide of the Egyptian Pyramids
Egyptian Pyramids (A Tiny Guide) is a labour of love, produced by three masters of their crafts. Britta Le Va, Selima Ikram, and Sherif Borai (the owner of the excellent publishing house "Zaitouna") are almost uncannily but certainly very professionally acquainted with Egyptian reality and unreality. The text, images and format of this charming, esoteric and very specific (dates, sizes, sites, materials etc) content of the precious tiny guide combine to convey a perfect description of the Egyptian monuments that have fascinated millions of specialists and non-specialists. The appeal of the pyramids to the whole world makes it hard to accept the fact that their Liliputian representation and description may no longer be available in the present world of books.
