But surely someone involved in the production of a spy book would have read the most famous spy books ever published? You've got an agent and publisher both interested in a book about spies, you've got an editor who would need to have at least some knowledge of the subject, and a bunch of volunteer proof readers going through the advanced reader copies. It doesn't make sense that none of those would have read them.
