Store Description

A large collection of privately owned publications, mostly relating to ancient Egypt (all periods), Nubia, and the surrounding areas, which have been gathered together over the course of the last fifty years. Books range from second-hand in good condition to extremely rare, with a number of recently acquired brand new volumes. Over the years I have also procured a selection of withdrawn university library books. The collection further includes a significant number of scholarly journals and popular magazines about the ancient world. Please browse the titles currently available. Additional works are still being added. There are hundreds more yet to be listed. If you should have any questions about any of these offerings, please feel free to inquire. Emails are attempted to be answered in an expeditious manner. Your purchases are always carefully wrapped and shipped promptly. The books come from a smoke-free household. Photographs are available to those seriously interested.
