How to read Hieroglyphs
by M Collier and B Manley

This is an extremely useful book with a good general coverage of Egyptian grammer and vocabulary. The study excercises are very effective for practicing your translation skills. However, the authors have reassigned the reference numbers for each hieroglyph instead of using the more familiar references attricuted by Gardiners, making it a little harder to use in conjunction with other texts.

by R.O Faulkner

Faulkner's dictionary is very useful, but hard to use unless you are fairly well practiced at translation.
