Summary: Excellent!
Comment: 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: Beginners Will Love It, Experts Will Reference It Everyday!
Comment: Most lockpicking books throw around technical terms without explaining to the user what exactly they mean. Not so with "The Visual Guide to Lockpicking". Not only does the author explain what a "sheer line" is, he shows you with well-drawn illustrations and in-depth depictions.
Beginners will find this book to be an valuable, hands-on guide with plenty of information, but experts will benefit even more. The book will likely replace every reference on their desks with this slim, knowledge-packed title.
One of the very best books on lockpicking I have seen in some time. I recommend it to my customers every time they ask "What book should I buy to learn lockpicking?".
Rating: 5
Summary: Quite useful
Comment: Every now and then i would become interested in lockpicking and buy a new book. Unfortunately they would all talk about some shear line and wards without really explaining what they are or where they are inside the lock. I struck gold with this book since their illustrations clearly show where everything is and how it works. For the first time i was actually able to visualize the parts of my lock move. I would actually close my eyes and think of whats going on inside the lock and feel slight movements inside it. I must complain though, this book left me yearning for more, now i can't wait for the second volume.
