Excellent book: Visual Guide to Lockpickiing

This book (in its 3rd edition) covers a lot of information on different types of locks and how to pick them. This book uses excellent 3D images to help explain what the user needs to know.

It's intended for beginners but more advanced users might still learn something from it.


Here is a look at the Table of Contents

Exact title / author / publisher? I'd buy that. Can't have too many manuals, you learn some little thing out of every one.
