In a very good condition. ~ FIRST EDITION thus. Reprinted from The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, 1992. Presentation copy, signed and dedicated by the author "With many thanks and best wishes" (to Egyptologist Prof. Herman De Meulenaere [1923-2011] from whose library this item comes.) Included is a somewhat extended correspondence between Prod. De Meulenaere and Leahy's wife at her position at the JEA. It comprises of 2 letters and a postcard from Mrs. Leahy, 2 letters and a referee rapport from De Meulenaere, and a letter from Anthony Leahy. It shed some interesting light on the process of a refereed journal which the JEA has adopted, Mrs. Leahy submission of her husband's work as an anonymous manuscript for De Meulenaere as a referee, his comments on the work ("From the very beginning, I have suspected your husband to be the author of the article"), his reservations regarding the whole process of refereeing anonymous manuscripts, etc. A fascinating reading into the mind and working methods of these scholars.
