Here goes:
National Intelligence Book Center
This is the only organization anywhere to act as a collecting
point for new books on topics such as espionage, crypto., and
computer security. They scour the world for books and some will
be expensive because they air-freight everything in. It is
easiest to contact them by phone:
202-785-4334
(Fax) 202-785-7456.
You will probably talk to Elizabeth Bancroft (who runs the whole thing).
In addition, they have a publication called the "Surveillant" (6 issues/
year, $48.00) which announces new acquisitions and has some news
from the intel. field. Each issue comes with a check-off order
form for books announced in that issue. It can be contacted at
Surveillant,
Lock Box Mail Unit 18757
Washington, DC 20036-8757.
Second-hand Specialists.
There are four dealers who specialize in espionage and related fields
in the U.S. I have dealt very happily with two of them (that's all I
can afford to support). They are:
Cloak and dagger Books
Dan D. Halpin Jr.
9 Eastman Ave
Bedford, NH 03110
603-668-1629
603-626-0626 (fax)
and
Elm Spy Books
Box 9753
Arnold, MD 21012
310-544-9014.
These two will buy, sell, and trade and to back order searches. Elm
is interested in expanding coverage in crypto. and may be interested
in dealing.
Two others I have not dealt with, but who may be useful are:
The Last Hurrah Bookshop
937 Memorial Avenue
Williamsport, PA 17701
717-327-9338
and Ruth Koffsky Books (for whom I can't find an address right now)
I hope this is useful. Encourage people to tell these sources
how they found out about them.
Regards,
Alec Chambers
