    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Positive experience but could be better. Item description was accurate but, it was shipped in a simple bag with no carton or any protection. The bag was broken in places and the USPS bent the book like it was a newspaper and ruined what was an excellent looking book. That was clearly the USPS fault but a "Do Not Bend" or carton would help next time. Otherwise accurate description, value, condition and Fast shipping. I'm a returning customer and will keep buying from World of Books

    Worth reading more then once!

    I've read Mika Waltari's book the Egyptian several times. It reflects the daily life lived in ancient Egypt. Excellent research, compelling protagonists, fast moving story line with unexpected twists. I read this book twenty years ago, and then read it again. I really enjoyed it and found the "mummy making" process to be fascinating as well as accurate. I misplaced my copy long ago and purchased it again for my Mom to read. She though mummy's were the realm of fiction and horror. She is as hooked by this as I was. The author is amazing both historically and in fiction. I loved it. So, if you wonder about life in the ancient past, but hate dusty dry non-fiction histories? This is the book to read. I hadn't read any other books by this author, and wondered if there were more. Now ...

    Describes life in ancient Egypt

    One of the best novels i ever read. Mika Waltari wrote many historic novels but are unfortunately hard to find, no reprints. This is a real gem as he describes life in ancient Egypt. Fantastic story.

    The Egyptian

    Read this book 55 years ago. Still remember it. He also wrote The Etruscan which is fascinating.
