Review:
"A charming curiosity....[The Spy's Bedside Book] serves not simply as a companion to espionage fiction, but as a kind of spy's how-to, right down to tips on secreting messages in boiled eggs and how to disguise maps in diagrams of butterfly wings (thanks to Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who actually did that)."--"Los Angeles Times"
"This compendium of memoir, fiction, aphorism and historical accounts of espionage through the centuries is the literary equivalent of a triple agent at a dead drop: You never know what you'll get, but it's always intriguing."-"News & Observer, "Raleigh"
Many of the early masters of spy fiction--from John Buchan to Ian Fleming--are represented in this quirky anthology, along with surprise guests, including W.H. Auden and Colette."--"Wall Street Journal
