a classic and a good reference

This book is rated the classic reference on Ancient Egyptian building techniques.

Various buildings and pyramids are picked out as examples for diverse techniques as well as for the purpose of providing insight into how they were built. Although getting out of date with more information having been gathered during the past 60-odd years, it is well worth reading and having as a handy reference.
