Bibliography
Dagmar Budde, Die Göttin Seschat, ISBN 3-934374-01-8. An excellent 400-page book, published in 2000. There is no other work on Seshat so comprehensive; it even includes the names of all known Hem-Seshat priests and people named for Her in antiquity. I don't read German, but worked through the book with Babelfish, an array of English-German dictionaries (mostly online), and some help from the wonderful NeferuHethert (who also made me aware of the book's existence).

G.A. Wainwright, "Seshat and the Pharaoh," Journal of Egyptian Archaeology vol. 25, pages 30-40. The best source I knew of until the Budde book. Among other things, he makes a case for Seshat being an aspect of Nebt-Het, and tells of Khabausokar, 3rd dynasty administrator and priest of Set, Yinepu (Anubis) and Seshat. While the article is not entirely accurate in all details, it's still a valuable read.

Her Holiness Rev. Tamara Siuda, Nisut Hekatawy I (AUS), "Nephthys: Lady of the House." A paper She wrote for the Oriental Institute of Chicago in 1999, and graciously gave me a copy of.

In addition, the kemet.org website has an extensive reading list you might want to peruse.
