Publication: London, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1977

Formatting: thick 8vo, pp. ccvi, 704.

Condition Report: Very Good. This hefty volume presents tightly bound and square in its original green cloth, with hinges that remain entirely sound. The pictorial dust jacket is bright and complete, displaying only light shelf-wear, minor rubbing to the corners, and slight handling marks to the panels. Internally, the pages remain clean, crisp, and largely free from blemishes. Moderate to heavy foxing present along the top edge of the text block, with some faint, occasional spotting extending to the fore-edge. Overall, a sturdy and highly attractive copy.

Catalogue Note: Eleventh impression of the "Second Edition Revised and Enlarged," first published as a single, consolidated volume by Routledge and Kegan Paul in 1923 (originally appearing in 1899), containing the complete text of the Theban Recension.

The edition is celebrated for its exhaustive visual apparatus, boasting twenty-two plates and four hundred and twenty meticulously reproduced vignettes of the original papyri. These single-volume examples with their original, pictorial dust jackets intact and in such good condition remain a desirable prospect for collectors of core Egyptology.

A monumental achievement in the field of Egyptology, Sir E.A. Wallis Budge’s translation of The Book of the Dead provides a direct gateway into the ancient Egyptian vision of the afterlife. Synthesizing the Papyrus of Ani and other vital texts of the Theban Recension, this exhaustive work details the spells, incantations, and complex rituals necessary to guide the deceased safely through the perils of the underworld. Accompanied by hundreds of striking facsimile illustrations depicting gods, monsters, and the weighing of the heart, Budge's masterwork remains an indispensable and mesmerizing resource for understanding the spiritual cosmology of the ancient world.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
