Buy Treasures of Egypt: A Legacy in Photographs, From the Pyramids to Tutankhamun Media tie-in by National Geographic (ISBN: 9781426222634) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Disappointing - The book arrived quickly, but it was damaged. It’s increasingly common with orders fulfilled by desertcart that larger, hardcover books are damaged as they are not packaged properly. I am finding it’s better when they are sent by other sellers through desertcart. With regards to the book itself, I had high expectations, but the book lacks in many areas. For a start, a lot of the pictures are not of a very good quality, from being out of focus (especially landscapes) to being either too large (with obvious reduction of quality) or too small and with many of the subjects photographed of little or no great interest. I bought quite a few other books on ancient Egypt and the quality is far, far superior (e.g. the Tutankhamun book by Taschen). The narrative is quite random I find, divided by themes that are not in any particular order. There are images of lots of different things all mixed together as part of these chapters, and certainly many of the artefacts included are very minor, certainly no ‘treasures’ of Egypt. One thing that I find very annoying is that there are no details of the location of the artefacts whose pictures are included in the book, nor enough details about where they come from, what these objects are, and so on, so it’s difficult to place them in the context of what one is reading. I found myself flicking through the pages quite quickly in the end and loosing interest. There are much better books about ancient Egypt and especially the treasures of Tutankhamun. I wouldn’t recommend buying the book. Review: Magnificent - Packed with wonderful photographs and concise text this is a wonderful guide for the armchair traveller to ancient Egypt.
