Review #1

Classical Studies

I purchased this book on behalf of the Lacey Library, which is the University of Auckland's library attached to the Ancient History and Classics Department of the Arts Faculty. I did so upon request, as their students found this book an invaluable aid for beginners of writing ancient Egytian hieroglyphs. Their comments were that this book showed the basic starting principles of writing in the hieroglyphic form, and for those whom had no formal artistic skill, this book is as exciting as the subject of Egyptology is to them.




Review #2

It's great if it's for a 5-year-old.

I guess I was expecting more.
If you have children, they would get more out of this. It reminded be of learning how to write in grade school. That's about all there is to it.




Review #3

Writing Glyphs made easier

This made the work that I was doing for a Birthday Project for two young ladies much easier
