1000 miles up the Nule
I have just started this book, but have read part on my Kindle. This edition is over 500 pages with all the woodcut drawings. I am so happy to have this to add to my collection of early Egypt. Seems to go well with fans of Amelia Peabody.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
