The Egyptian Book of the Dead
The Book of Going Forth by Day (Library Edition)
James Wasserman, compiler
"A critical purchase for any serious collection of materials on ancient Egypt." -- Library Review
The culture, society, religion and philosophy of ancient Egypt continue to fascinate the modern world.
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is the definitive restoration of the legendary 3,500-year-old Papyrus of Ani—the
most beautiful and complete of the illustrated Egyptian funerary
scrolls ever discovered. It has been restored to its original sequence
of text and image through painstaking scholarship and the latest
advances in computer technology.
This stunning edition of The Egyptian Book of the Dead
has involved the work of many experts over many years. The majority of
the translation is by Dr. Raymond Faulkner (1894-1982), a renowned
British Egyptologist. Dr. Ogden Goelet, Professor of Egyptian Language
and Literature at New York University, provides additional translation,
an introduction, and original commentaries. The preface is by
Carol Andrews, a curator in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities at
the British Museum.
James Wasserman is a writer and book designer whose supervision brought the work of these and other scholars together in this benchmark edition.

Accidental Christ
The Story of Jesus (As Told By His Uncle)
by Lon Milo DuQuette
For nearly 2000 years, some of the greatest acts of compassion, and some of the most brutal acts of barbarity, have been perpetrated in his name. Whether loved or hated, believed in or dismissed, nobody can deny the impact his words have had on human history.
But who was he. . .really?
In his first novel, best-selling author Lon Milo DuQuette has combined his vast knowledge of esoteric history with his legendary story-telling skills to create a very believable tale about the man known to history as Jesus Christ. It’s a novel that will fascinate, educate, and no-doubt shock, believers and heathen alike.
