Egyptian Hieroglyphs for Everyone: An Introduction to the Writing of Ancient Egypt
Joseph and Lenore Scott
Copyright ©1968

This book is an excellent introduction to Egyptian Hieroglyphics. It is a thin book and was written so people like you and I can understand it. I found it very helpful in creating this site.

The book was reprinted by Barnes & Noble in 1993, but is currently out of print. I have found it in the "Out of Print" section at barnesandnoble.com. It might also be found at used bookstores and occasionally on bookstore clearance racks.
