Great Pyramid: Its Secrets & Mysteries Revealed by Charles Piazzi Smyth
Originally published in 1880 as "Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid", this book provides detailed line sketches and numerous calculations and ratios that leave one pondering the skill of the ancient designers of the pyramids.
A classic in the nutty Egyptology field with pyramid prophecy and biblical reconstruction and British Israelism all thrown in together.
First printed book illustrated with stereographs; not original binding, but contemporary halfbound
Contains, inter alia, "Observations at the Great Pyramid in Egypt"
