It is fairly comprehensive. It is published by McGraw-Hill, and is marketed to bookstores, libraries, etc. First, some background on the book. The first couple of editions were written by C. Then Roper and Phillips co-authored. Then later on, Phillips was listed as the sole author.

Do not be surprised if an early edition lists Roper as the author. The strength of the book is that it does a fairly good job of going over the basic basics.

Clear writing and good illustrations. Literature that anyone can download for free off the internet. As an example, the section on automotive is badly dated. Nothing about transponder technology and nothing about modern opening tools. In the page after page of cut-and-paste filler, it devotes 22 pages to the installation instructions of the Schlage model G. That lockset went out of production in Meanwhile, it has nothing about, for example, the Kwikset Smartkey locks.

In electronic locks, it goes over Dialocs and Memorilocks, but does not mention the Alarm Lock Trilogy. It does not go over door closers and does not have much by way of life safety codes, the ADA, etc. The chapter on working as a locksmith makes no mention of being a mobile locksmith and advertising is mainly concerned about hanging a good sign in front of the shop. The book really does not go into detail about cutting keys by code. While it goes over the fairly uncommon Framon DBM-1 flat key duplicator, it does not mention the Framon 2 or the HPC which are very common code machines for locksmiths, new and old.

There is no meaningful discussion of interchangeable core locks. It gives a picture of one, but does not really go into enough detail to actually do anything. Where the book does have value is in a fairly comprehensive treatment of the basics: types of locks, how they work, how to rekey them, etc. Basically what was in the 2nd edition from Bottom line, if you want the basics in one book, then get The Complete Book of Locks and Locksmithing , but get the cheapest edition you can find.

It may be easier for someone new to the trade to read through—it seems to be a little better organized in that regard.
