Happy book birthday to Book and Daggerby Elyse Graham! We have been so excited for this book to be out in the world, and now it finally is. This is the thrilling, untold story of the librarians and academics who became OSS spies, invented modern spycraft, and helped turn the tide of World War II.
Book and Dagger has been included in various roundups and had been getting fantastic praise. Check it out:
“Entertainingly conveyed, with great respect and deep appreciation for their ingenuity and drive, Graham's history is a powerful symphony for these unsung heroes whose professional skills and personal courage brought down the Nazi state. The modern intelligence community owes its existence to their rigor and resourcefulness. Readers fascinated by espionage will be eager to checkout Graham's fresh telling of the surprising story of the OSS.” — Booklist ⭐️ review
“Thrilling...with a keen ear for narrative prose, Graham builds suspense and intrigue, and the book is a pulpy delight...Book and Dagger is a necessary reminder of the value of the humanities and of the freedom of information and ideas at a time when both of those things are under threat.” — BookPage ⭐️ review
“An engaging study of wartime American intelligence...Graham makes a good case for studying the humanities as both an instrument of learning and a weapon of war. Bibliophiles with a taste for cloak-and-dagger work will enjoy this lively book.” — KirkusReviews
“In her lively Book and Dagger, the historian Elyse Graham rescues a cast of scholar-spies from obscurity.” — The New York Times

“Go get the book from the library. That's so romantic and sexy to do.” —Chloé Caldwell
***
Like many readers, I look for books that make me feel something. WOMEN by Chloé Caldwell is all feeling. In WOMEN, an unnamed narrator grapples with the heartbreak from her first queer relationship with fervor and vulnerability. It captured my attention with its visceral and punchy prose and held it with its intimate intricacies of queer love and fall out. This small but mighty novella lingered long after I finished it. Caldwell writes without inhibition and that is a gift to all of her readers. My hope is that WOMEN ends up in libraries, that it passes through hands of those who need it. —Grace Caternolo, Library Marketing Assistant at HarperCollins
