I'm not a locksmith by trade, but I have always had a fascination with locks and keys and know the basics of the craft. I happened upon this book and bought it impulsively. Upon receiving the book, I was at first disappointed at the small size (dimensions) and the thin-type pages. I almost decided to just box it back up and return (due to the cost of the book), but as I started to look through it, I found it hard to put down. The more I read, the more interested I got. There are some really unique locks and keys that were and are manufactured. I would love to have a set of these locks (padlocks would be cool) and keys. Anyway, I am definitely keeping the book as I am going through it again and will do so from time to time. I'll get my cost out of the book for sure!
