Summary: A fun how-to book
Comment: This is a fun book for any spy fans interested in tradecraft secrets. Reads as a manual.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Elite
Comment: "The Spy's Guide: Office Espionage" exceeds most publications written via so-called 'superior' and 'more advanced' authors of the same genre. Other books pack their texts with unnecessary padding and filler hoping to impress their audience or earn additional finances.
Melton, Piligian, and Swierczynski composed this exceptional book where it's easily understood, impossible to place down, and effortless to remember.
In conclusion, this 165 page book contains more clandestine information than most spy books sold on market.

Summary: Surprisingly Good
Comment: I think the title says it all. I expected it to be so/so but it was actually a really good book. It discusses how to encode your documents, how to get leverage in a negotiation, and alot of other tips and tricks that would be useful in a real-world office environment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Love this book
Comment: I grabbed this book on Amazon with my expectations very high. When this book arrived I read it in one night! A must-read this book talks about how to become a real office spy and experiences of other spies. I wish there was one about home espionage.

Summary: Very Useful, More Than Enough Info for Any Working Stiff
Comment: I picked up a copy of this title from a local Barnes & Noble bookstore. Oddly enough, the title was shelved in the humor section, which didn't make much sense to me as the book isn't particularly entertaining but takes a rather serious, right-to-the-point approach to the business of using questionable means to further your career.
The Spy's Guide: Office Espionage will tech you how to: take an impression of a key for duplication, secure a hotel room, check your conference room for bugs, bug a conference room, reassemble shredded documents, copy documents without leaving a trace as to what copier was used, conceal objects in a bottle of water, sneak into a tradeshow without being noticed, use your cell phone to your advantage, make untraceable phone calls and faxes, keep your private conversations private and much more.
As slim as this volume is, it is surprisingly through and complete. For your average working stiff, this will be more than adequate for taking your game to the next level.
