This book is thin, very thin.
The tools it seems to refer to most of the time are "jimmys" - for those of us in the UK that means our old mate the crowbar.
The section on drilling locks is worthless (working as a locksmith I'd never get anything done using their method) It's an old book, which explains why it doesn't make any reference to the proper "anti-drill" measures used by proper lock companies.
The other "techniques" are extremely basic and do not take into account the evolution of security.
If you need a book to learn how to use a crowbar, should you be let out without a grown-up?

It's not a bad little guide, I agree. But there's not much of it... It's a single-staple, folded-to-A5 softback pamphlet. The sort of size bank leaflets or brochures on smoking from a doctor's surgery are. Xerox-quality. It's good as far as it goes, like I say, but really, it's about four minutes cover-to-cover...

There's a couple of useful tricks here, but it doesn't teach you anything that a few hours' experimentation couldn't. You can learn as much by disassembling locks etc. and by listening to other people. It's not expensive, but it's not golddust either.
