Yes. It has excellent information about ovens, but not about building them.
As for David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery, I would recommend the
edition from the early 70's (1972?) with Karen Hess' annotations over the
current edition.
And the Second Edition of Wood's Sourdoughs of the World from Antiquity has
a nice section on experimenting with an
Ancient Egyptian bakery. You want both editions of this book. The First
Edition has more recipes.
