Jasmine Day, Journal of Archaeology Science Here is a rarity: a collection of essays selected annotated and updated not by an editor, but by their writer, with all the resultant advantages... John Baines does more than compile a series of related papers into a convenient single book.

Ilona Regulski, Bibliotheca Orientalis This well illustrated volume brings together some of John Baines's valuable studies...making better available key contributions on core problems of written and visual culture in ancient Egypt. The book is organized as a synthesis of excellent treated individual topics that offers numerous points of departure for further research.

Robyn A. Gillam, Chronique d'gypte a work that deserves to be seriously read and re-viewed.
