About This Item
New York: Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2004. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 11h x 9 1/2w. A real nice clean unmarked 166 page first edition hardcover with "A" in Alphabet line. Dust jacket has a small tear bottom right front corner, still nice. Nice laminated boards mirror the dust jacket. This distinctive and fascinating book at once distills and expands upon that experience, with inside information on how spies do their jobs, interviews with operatives, and hundreds of photographs and descriptions of tools of the trade. Biographies of legendary spies and how they completed their special operations are included, along with timeliness showing the developments of bugs, surveillance tools, weapons, and disguises. Letters, maps, examples of disguises, dead drops, and rare photos make spies and their operations from 2000 BC to the present live and breathe on every page..

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
