The Ancient Egypt Bibliography is a growing list of over 550 books on Ancient Egypt, written in different languages.

This list is intentionally eclectic: some books will be highly scientific, some are meant for a more general audience and others yet are intended for children.

Several books in this list hold a link to the world's largest on-line bookshops: Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, enabling you to expand your personal library with your favourite books on Ancient Egypt.
