The Splendour That Was Egypt
by Murray, Margaret A
- Used
- Hardcover
This is Murray's well-known survey of Egyptian culture and civilization in an early edition loaded with illustrations including many full-page photos. It's a nice, solid hardcover edition of a book that's usually found in skinny diminished form. Full color frontis. Binding is a solid, tight and square large octavo/small quarto with no major flaws or markings aside from owner's name in pencil on ffep. Inserted separately is that former owner's Phi Delta Phi book mark, which seems to have a list of motels on it that I feel is none of my business.
The DJ is one of those fragile paper kinds they used to use in the '50s, when most people still chucked them out. It has a chipped upper and lower spine and a bit missing on the back, which is just ads in any case. It looks pretty good and clean overall, and in its clear archival cover it's actually pretty snazzy.
