UCLA has an encyclopedia on Egyptology that is pretty solid, though maybe you have to look for specific topics in it. I used it when writing academic papers on Demotic Egypt and was impressed.

Funnily enough I am reading this right now. Good read and gives you the whole picture in a very digestible manner, highly recommended for beginner to the subject (like me).

For a book I was forced to read in school I quite liked it. Very well researched for its time.
