I have this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/158160 ... s&v=glance
You can find alot on amazon. From what I have read Steven Hampton is a pretty good author. He also has books for novice amateur lockpickers too.

novice and amateur*

Steven hampton does have some reasonable books but they are old hat and lie a lot inside.

[Nekura]

old hat and lie a lot inside.

I'm sorry we don't use that expression in Cali. Could you clarify what old hat means? Thnx

[Shrub]

They arent up to date and some of the info inside them is just plain rubbish.

I dont agree with it but you can find them scattered around the internet anyway for download if you look, you can then decide yourself and then buy the book if you want.

A lot of folks like the Visual Guide to Lockpicking for an introduction. Although not a book the MIT Guide To Lockpicking is pretty good too.

[Nekura]

Ah yes, on that part I do agree shrub. It is a little dated but Its nice to read anyway. I mean, its good to read alot of different stuff. You can always learn something right?

[Shrub]

Sure, you may want to clarify some of the points however on here.

I still have a little look at my advanced lockpicking book from time to time

[Nekura]

Well, I'm not sure about any of these books. But one thing I know for sure is that you can find what you need on this forum. Atleast that's what I've learned with my one week useing it.

[Shrub]

You sure can, best place to learn as this book talks back to you
