Oh oh oh! Did you have the 50's hardcover with the four-color printed cover? That's the version I kept dragging home from the library, somewhat worse for wear as it was about 25 years old by the time I glommed on to it. I'm happy to have the paperback just for the sake of readability, but if I ever come across the hardcover in decent shape I don't think I will be able to resist snapping it up for nostalgia's sake.
The Amelia Peabody books I'd picked up at some point in my teens, I think, without knowing it was Mertz writing under a pen name; I don't think I found out they were the same person until I stumbled across something about her online, and then I laughed for days at how perfectly it all made sense.
And waaah, plotty long Thutmosid melodrama sounds like an utter delight! DO WANT. ;_;
