the most famous is "the Book of Dead" and it is considered as a Holy Book whereby they're using symbols in writings; hyroglif. But, Egyptians way of worshipping God might differ across the time because everything relies on the Pharoah commands. As they considered Pharoah as a God, or son of a God, his or her commands are considered as holy words to them.

I totally agree Budge's interpretation of such is called the Book of the Dead. The ancient's themselves did not refer to it in this manner.
Unlike, modern religion, ancient Egypt was not based on a set of theological principles, nor did it depend on content of canonical writings.
It evolved around their people's interaction with their 'gods'.
And, no, not a 'holy book', per se.

Yes, it is called The Book of the Dead. It started out just on writings on the walls till they came up with papyrus and then transferred it to a book.

Yeh its called hieroglyphics. The only books in which they have are the book of the dead and the book of the gates, both of which deal with death and afterlife, although the book of the dead is spells.

the egyptians admit they are undead. the "Book of the Dead" speak for itself. it means "The Book of the Undead Egyptians". that's why mummification is part of their culture. who knows the mummies are all undead!!
