Query: Good brief history

This book is pretty austere as a travel guide: few photos, mostly narrative text unbroken by headings which might aid quick reference. But it's a good book for its history and its knowledgeable, if sometimes dry, descriptions of places of interest. Kamil wants to emphasize the distinctiveness of the Coptic church from other manifestations of Christianity, and tries to tie it in which earlier Egyptian pagan practices. I appreciate her effort to not subsume the Coptic church under an indistinct universal "Christianity", but sometimes her examples seem strained. In any event, that's a topic for a much longer and more in-depth book than this introductory guide, which serves its purpose pretty nicely. You can pick up a used copy for pretty cheap, so it's certainly worth it.
