Summary: Excellent!
Review: The pictures are fantastic and the explanations are superb. It covers picking warded locks and making impressions for them, raking, picking and bypassing pin tumbler locks, impact and vibration picking (pin tumblers) and more (I didn't need the wafer lock bit so I didn't read that). It explains how the locks work internally and provides clear cut away drawings to illustrate. It explains the different kinds of tools you may need and how to use them, plus pros and cons of each. This is an excellent resource for picking locks. There is a section on how master keys work. Although I now understand the concept, I don't think I could just go out and make a master key - but I am pretty confident that I could pick it.

Summary: Too small, Too expensive
Review: This book has visual helps, but you would expect more and better ones for the price. You can likely learn to pick locks, but the price is too high for the quality and number of the illustrations and the size of the book. Something more should have been included in the way of where the lock picks and other materials can be purchased. This small, expensive book was disappointing to me.

Summary: NOT a stand-alone book and $20 too expensive
Review: This isn't really a stand alone book. It would have been much better as part of another book such as "How To Open Locks With Improvised Tools"The illustrations are good, but not that good and the text is lacking in depth. It's certainly NOT worth $24.95. Get it from the library and use it as a reference while reading another book on locks.
