Abusir: Realm of Osiris, Miroslav Verner's 2002 monograph from the American University in Cairo Press, is written by the Czech Egyptologist who led decades of excavation at Abusir itself. Its strength is that direct, first hand knowledge of the site and its Osiris cult associations. Its limit is that, as with any excavation synthesis, later fieldwork at the same necropolis may refine specific findings; check for more recent excavation reports for the newest evidence.
