misleading book
15 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very misleading package. There's a brief Graham Greene story, plus a miscellany of unorganized, sometimes fragmentary, and rarely interesting ephemera from writers you've never heard of. It's almost surely not what you're thinking it is. I'd pass.

A Fabulous Read
13 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I go back and re-read this book all the time. The book is a sampler of excerpts from some of the greatest spy novelists of all time. Many of whom I had not heard of. Of course I read John Buchan's " 39 Steps " when I was a boy, but I had never heard of William Le Queux, who is featured several times. However it's edited by Graham Greene, who should know quality when he reads it. His " Our Man in Havana " is a beautiful tongue-in-cheek spy novel. I highly recommend this spy sampler, it is very entertaining.
