Easy Pickings book

Does anyone know if theres an actual text copy of the Easy Pickings book online anywhere or an Ebook like it. I dont want to order one via mail.

Seeing as how it's copyrighted material and therefore shouldn't be posted online, you're not going to have much luck. Besides, it's trash.

ok, do u know of any other good ones i can find online.

Probably the most comprehensive work on the subject that is freely available online would be the MIT Guide to Lockpicking. It really is all you need. Anything you can't learn from MIT Guide is probably something you can only learn from experience anyway.

I got this book with the picks I ordered... It is much more useful to read the FAQ section of this site. MUCH more. It basically says put on tension and wiggle around your pick. Don't worry about not having it, just keep practicing away.

IT is complete and utter crap, you will be dumber for reading it. Easy pinkin's was written for Confederate wannabees who want to be secret agents for the South when it rises again. The MIT guide is the place to start - then move on to LSS when your piggy bank is nice and fat.

Hey

I totally agree. I Had it on the computer from someone who took photos but i deleted it because it is crap and would rather read posts here, besides whilst looking for the thing you want you also stumble on some posts that you didnt plan of finding that will give you more questions to ask so open notepad whilst looking for something because most of the time you will develop other questions while asking.

im going to agree alittle here yes i had the book i got it with a five pice set from south ord. but if you have no exp on picking and no other way of getting info it will get you started thats all but you now have found the best free Ebook about on lockpicking. lockpicking101 so you dont need it
i gave my copy to my father inlaw as he has no pc. and i give him all the extra help he wants

Hey

I reckon it would be a alright book if someone didnt have access to the internet. But still i would go for a better book if i didnt have to net.

All the little pamphlets written on picking locks are totally for the clueless and probably leave them no better off. You found LP101, You are right on top of the biggest pile of information on lockpicking you could hope to get and its free. Yes, LSS is the bible, and bill philips writes a good book for setting up a locksmith business, but this place is interactive. Now wheres that toot-torial on overlifting?

Advanced section Ray, but I think I answered your questions. I really have got to start showing the local lockies about overlifting, especially since its seems there are only 4 types of vehicles around here lately: Dodge Rams, Hondas, Mitsu's, and Saturns.

Does anyone really "not have access to the internet" any more? Public libraries, friends, family--stay away from the book, and spend some time here!

by **digital_blue** » 3 Apr 2005 12:59

There really are still people that don't have access to the net. My mother, for one.

I'm sure there are others.

So, I suppose what Geek was saying is, if you are reading this and you don't have access to the net, yes, easy pickings is a good book.
