etienne02 's review for:

Ancient Egypt by Trevor Naylor
5.0

A photography book with some information on Egypt. I didn't like this book much, because of the quality of the pictures, in those books, this is an important element and with this one, not all, but more than half of them were very low quality. If not the information were okay, but too short for serious research and that's why I classify it as a photography book more than anything else.

After publishing the review I was contacted by the publisher who say that the picture quality is due to a pdf size restriction on NG that didn't allow them to have the full resolution. Which is more than possible, so I give it an addition star. They also offer to send a print copy so I could see the actual print quality. Don't know if or when I will get it, but when I do I will edit this review again to share my opinion on the print quality.

Finally got a physical copy from the publisher so thanks to them and I have to admit, the digital/NG files didn't do justice to this book!!. Wow the pictures are beautiful. The quality of those photographies are as good as it gets and that is where digital marketing job can get risky because at first I gave that book two stars, and I will end up giving them five, so if the publisher haven't come forward to me than I would have had a bad opinion of their works, share that opinion and ... So again, in a real physical copy, the picture are great, clear and this book just become a perfect coffee table book. It's also way smaller than I expect in term of size/dimension, and it's cool, because often coffee table are big and sometimes they almost take to much place on the table but this one, small enough to fit anywhere, but at the same time the right size to allows you a nice look at the photography!
