Book Reviews of Visual Guide to Lock Picking (Third Edition)
Book Review: Very complete book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second book i'd read about locksmithing and i found it very clear to understand, great images so you can comprehend what they are talking about. The basics are covered with almost any book but this one is very clear and also explains a lot of high security types of locks. Obviously... practice is better than any book.
