Not a book but an atlas - but since Cairo is a big city, it only includes those areas that the compilers thought would be of interest to ex-pats (the intended audience). Those areas that are included have all streets shown (as far as I can tell) which is certainly helpful. Street names are given only in transliteration, not in Arabic.
Perhaps the positive feature is that it is a convenient size for carrying.
