Good book for studying the Rhind Papyrus

If you don't read German or heiroglyphic, this is the best book for studying Egyptian mathematics and the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (RMP). It contains good commentary, plates of the original papyrus, and detailed explanation to help one "get into the mind" of the Egyptian Ahmose. It was very helpful for my project on Egyptian Mathematics - I'm glad my library had it.
