John R. Sharp worked as a linguist and analyst for the U.S. Government for over 40 years, teaching and writing curricula for Modern Standard Arabic and several Arabic dialects. During his studies in Cairo, he became fascinated with Egyptology and the ancient Egyptian language, but was frustrated at not finding a good, searchable index of pharaohs' cartouches (name rings), so he decided to make one himself, a project that took several decades. He lives in Hawaii.
It's more of a referrence book than a step by step book. Each topic is so thoroughly explained that you would need a long time understanding everything. I only read half of it page to page and then skimmed the rest because unless your job requires you to be so indepth these topics should only be referrenced from time to time whenever needed.
Great reference book. I read it cover to cover which served not just to teach me new information, but to reinforce what I already knew, or had picked up from Google over the years.
