Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great read for the eight year old spy......................This book has more pictures than text. It basically is a photo album of some spying equipment, this equipment is mostly pre cold war. It has very short description with the pictures, that are at times not even accurate or that miss crucial information. This a great book for the average eight year old, as it will surely appeal to their fantasy.............. Rating:  - Ultimate Spy ReviewAn excellent compendium of espionage gadgets up to and including the cold war. Many from the World War II era. Some history describing the more prominant practioners. Current gadgets as modified by current miniature electronics are not gone into as most of them are still classified. Excellent pictures and some proofreading goofs (none that serious). Rating: - Great Images and descriptions but does need to be re-proofedThis book is filled with excellent photos with great descriptions. The best historical book on spy hardware that I have ever seen. It does need to be re-proof read though... I noticed at least 3 spots where the text just ends in mid sentence which seemed really odd for a book of this caliber. It's just a minor irritation but otherwise it's a 5 star book. Rating: - Very good100% recomend to learn about spy history Rating: - Great photographs, interesting readingI was given this book as a gift and think the photographs in it are absolutely great! The text that accompanies all the photos is interesting, but I've noticed more than just a few spots in the book where the captions to the photos stops in mid-sentence. I still love the book and if those captions were complete; it would rate 5 stars. Browse for similar items by category:
