Good things can come in small packages.
Lush photographs and full color make this short book worth the money. Hayes is so cognizant of his young audience that some sexually oriented material is censored. Strangely, other points of the text do not seem embarrassed by such material. An additional inconsistency is the jacket and introduction's continual assertion that The Egyptians is specifically about New Kingdom Egypt. Except for details on certain pharaohs, Hayes makes reference to the entire expanse of Egyptian history.
