The Spy's Bedside Book. An Anthology edited by Graham Greene and Hugh Greene.

London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1957. [Spy Anthology] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.[2] 256 [2]. With occasional in-text illustrations. Publisher's blue cloth lettered in silver to spine (at least three colours were used without priority), illustrated dust-wrapper, priced at 15s. Exemplary, as new condition. No inscriptions, contents clean. Jacket has none of the usual fading to the red spine and is simply a bright, fresh example. Not a rare book, but exceptionally scarce in this condition- we have handled dozens of these over the years and all have suffered from sunning to a greater or lesser degree. An intriguing mix of factual and fictional pieces, including contributions from Baden-Powell, Le Queux, T.E. Lawrence, Bruce Lockhart, Ian and Peter Fleming, Kipling, Somerset Maugham, John Buchan, Fenimore Cooper, Dennis Wheatley, Joseph Conrad, Eric Ambler, Thomas Hardy and E. Phillips Oppenheim.
