Editorial Reviews

About the Author
Brian Pellham was raised on a small farm in Rainier, OR. He attended college at the Wharton School of Business (at the University of Pennsylvania). He now lives in Seattle, where he writes and self-publishes books on games and Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Brian has always had the entrepreneurial spirit coursing through his veins. He first learned about business when he was in high school. His father wanted him to experience the joy of making a profit--but instead of letting him invest in the stock market, he pressured him into purchasing a steer. It was quite a traumatic day when the "investment" was ready to be cashed in. Incidentally, this is also why Brian has made a few attempts at becoming a vegetarian.

Waste of money1
This tiny book is a waste of money. It is sloppily done, and inaccurate. Even its "alphabet in alphabetical order" is not in any alphabetical order that I have ever seen, and is missing a few letters of the Egyptian alphabet.

Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Their Meanings, 2nd Edition5
This is a great guide for children of all ages. I gave a copy to my nephew and he loves it! He even writes to his friends in hieroglyphic codes. I highly recommend it.

Egyptian Hierochlyphics & Their Meaning, 2nd Edition1
This book is cursory, to say the best about it, and close to useless to say the worst. It looks like something you'd find in the checkout line at the grocery store. Its pictures are simplistic and its information is less than minimal. I wasted good money. Look for something more substantive!
