The standard version of analytic Egyptian hieroglyphs is based upon the 26 categories of the Gardiner's Sign List, still the basic standard.

Excellent introduction. Serious, informative and generally well-paced. I think it would help to have a tutor to support study of the later, more technical chapters but you can get a long way with this book as an independent learner. I really appreciated being able to put the skills it teaches to the test in e British Museum, where most of the examples come from.

This has been the most readable book I've found for learning Egyptian Hieroglyphs on my own. I'd definitely recommend it.

Interesting book, tries to make hieroglyphics easier to understand. I found it very useful.
