De-Val, David — Lock Picking (Part 1)
Offerton David De-Val 1987 Stapled, 27pp., 15x21cm., ills. in b/W., in very good condition. Rare. ISBN 1871067006. Books and manuscripts over the years change hands. Unfortunately, in the case of this type of work, it could fall into the wrong hands. However, the person who is merely curious will soon find this work tiresome and unpalatable, leaving the true enthusiast to explore the teasing allure of the lock. This unique animal, who has the ingenuity and patience to follow through the fascinating study, will be rewarded in the knowledge that he is in the elite company that I salute in this work. For the people who argue that books on the subject should not be written, I would like to point out that a villain who wishes to gain entry into a property is happier with a brick than a pick.
