This review applies to Bill Petty's several smallish paperback references on Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and language. His earlier pair of books, "Hieroglyphic Sign List" and "Hieroglyphic Dictionary" were indispensable resources when I commenced my study a few years ago. Recently, Bill has added three more titles patterned on the first so that the student can cross-refer seamlessly between them. The new books, "Egyptian Glyphary", "The Names of the Kings of Egypt" and "English to Middle Egyptian Dictionary" are sufficiently comprehensive, yet simple and usable to be the primary references which I use. In addition, Petty's "Understanding Hieroglyphic Inscriptions" is a superb textbook arranged in the same style. There are plenty of other references in this subject, but these excellent (and cheap!) books are the gold standard, especially for the beginner.
This is a great resource for those studying the ancient Egyptian language. This is the most accessible volume I've come across so far. I wish I'd had something like this when I first started studying Egyptian hieroglyphs.
