Stars: 3
Review by: MandyApgar
A catalog of various Egyptian pieces up to the sixth dynasty held in the world's museums. Not all are from the Met but quite a few recognizable artifacts are shown if you have been there a lot. I would have perhaps liked it a lot better except it seemed like not as much was forced into being a lot. Usually museum publications are of very high quality and this was no exception; but it had the irritating quirk of including sources and bibliography for each piece right after it. (And her we have such and such from this museum, blah blah, and here are our 25 sources....) If it was not for all that the book would have certainly been more readable, would have helped for such items to have been in a back section only as several times there was more bibliographical text than descriptive.
