I saw this at my local bookstore and thought about picking it up, but I keep hearing everyone say how Edith Hamilton's book on Mythology is a bit better and more comprehensive. Is there any truth to that? This particular book would look terrific on my shelf, but I'd rather get quality reading rather than looks.

Does it just compare mythologies or actually translate them? I was looking more for a comprehensive guide to mythology that would go step through step of what Greek/Egyptian/Roman myths we know at present.

I like Bulfinch's Mythology, but it's partially a nostalgia thing. I remember reading dozens of quips from it on Encarta Kids when I was young. Just remember, if you decide to get it, that there are 3 volumes.
