Books of the Dead

Books of the Dead fascinate me - we think of them as truly esotric and ancient books of secret knowledge.
Its my understanding they were created in giant scriptoriums - scribes worked on pages and people would choose which pages they wanted their dead people to take with them into the afterlife.

I'll have that one and that one and that one - and the one with the really great image of Osiris please!

Its almost like a supermarket!
