Why a reissue??
I love this series, and this title is a lot of fun, not least because of Ramses. I recommend the whole series to anyone who likes lighthearted mysteries, even though the later ones, set in and around WWI, are darker in tone. But my question remains... why are they reprinting this in hardback? Are they planning to do that with the whole series? I understand that Peters has finished with the series, so I guess the publishers are trying to get as much out of the books as they can, by reissuing. I wish, though, that Peters would see her way clear to maybe just one more original title, maybe another one filling in gaps, like she did with Guardian of the Horizon. Anything but this.... But it is still a great series and I recommend it to everyone!Well, I'm not the only one....
I noticed that almost everyone who bought this book after its September 4, 2007 HARDCOVER release date found that this was a re-release of a 1985 book. I love Elizabeth Peters books (by whatever pen name she uses) and thought that AHA! It's A NEW RELEASE! I didn't even scroll down the screen for more information because it appeared to be a NEW Elizabeth Peters book. Unfortunately, if you're like me, by the time you read this review it will be too late. The header line for books should indicate when books are re-releases. I hope that Amazon will take note. Otherwise, I would give this book the five stars it would have received twenty years ago.The mummy case
My book came in a excellent condition and faster than I expected. I was very pleased with my service.It's a reprint- not a new book!
Oops! I ordered this book months ago, thinking that it would be a new release, and I was quite looking forward to more Amelia Peabody. When it arrived, I can't tell you how disappointed I was that it was a very early Amelia- which I not only had already read, but I already owned a copy of. I was just going to "suck it up", assuming that I was the only one who hadn't read the description closely enough, but I see that I have company. You'd better believe that I'll read more closely in the future- and hope that others will too.hood winked
this is a re-release of a book that I purchased years ago - I was gullible enough to believe that Amazon would tell me that this was a previously released novel - not so ! I am disappointed in Amaazon - my memory is not good enough to remind me that I bought this book years ago! a good read - but not a good re-read !Keyword : mummy
