I suggest:
Assmann, J. 2001. The Search for God in Ancient Egypt. D. Lorton, transl. Ithaca: Cornell University Press.
Bonnet, H. 2001 (1952). Reallexikon der Aegyptischen Religiongeschichte. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter.
Hornung, E. 1982. Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt: The One and the Many. J. Baines, transl. Ithaca: Cornell University Press.
Redford, D. B., Ed. 2002. The Ancient Gods Speak: A Guide to Egyptian Religion. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
Shafer, B. E., Ed. 1991. Religion in Ancient Egypt: Gods, Myths, and Personal Practice. Ithaca: Cornell University Press.
Tobin, V. A. 1989. Theological principles of Egyptian religion. American University Studies. Series 7, Theology and Religion 59. New York: Peter Lang.
All except Tobin are likely easily accessible via library or bookshops.
HTH.

| The Gods of Ancient Egypt by Barbara Watterson is a good one if you're looking for a concise brief introduction and summary of the gods. |
