I'll echo the earlier replies: my copy also just arrived today in the mail and, from the hour that I've had to start reading through it, I'm very impressed. Congratulations, Graham... it's a fantastic piece of work!

For those living in Canada, note that Amazon.ca is selling the book for $50 CDN (versus $85 USD from Amazon.com)!

I bought it from amazon.ca and had it shipped to Texas. Total $60.00 Canadian dollars. I thought that was going to be an even better deal until i realized that the exchange rate isn't like it used to be. Anyways, it ended up being about $54 USD compared to $85 USD. $30 off if you buy from Canada, weird.

dougfarre - thanks for the purchasing advice! I just ordered a copy myself from the Canadian site for a USD equivalent of $65.26. I very much look forward to receiving it!

'Cheaper to buy from canada even with the dollar knocked down in the dirt. Is there a place to buy prescription drugs along with the book?

Just got my copy today :-)
It's an awesome book! I have the LSS books, and would have to say this book by Greyman gives it a good run for its money!
It's not padded out ( as I would contend the LSS books are) ,it's full of great picks of locks and some great commentary on an amazing array of locks.
Including the Maxis lock I got from Zeke:-)
Well done on producing possibly the best book out there about locks :-)
Hope you do well with it, you deserve to!
