Hieroglyphs are the picture signs used in the ancient pyramid texts, and the hieratic script derived from them are both covered in this manual, offering a concise introduction to the language of Ancient Egypt. This edition contains a new introduction, bi-directional glossaries and more hieroglyphs. Recognizing the complexity of the Egyptian language, the author devotes a chapter to each grammar point and includes exercises to reinforce the information provided. Extracts from pyramid texts and passages from Ancient Egyptian writing provide reading practice.
this book is very hard to use. When I bought this book I had no expirence in egyptian hieroglyphs this book probably would be better for someone who has a knowledge of some grammar and wocab. it would be a good review book for the expirenced.

I like this book, but it is quite difficult to use. In it, the author criticizes Budge by saying that he is inaccurate, but I think that Budge is just at accurate in his own way as Mercer is in his. Budge, on the other hand, makes it easier to understand Egyptian.
