I am also hoping to buy this book on eBay as it's damned near impossible to find
I didn't realise it's a Shire Classic - ha ha.
This is the book that started it all, that fateful day I spent lazing at my friend's place, suckin down beers on the balcony in the shade on a 32 degree summer's day, having just picked my first padlock. I flicked through this simply illustrated book and was truly (I mean *TRULY*) fascinated.
Nothing's changed except how much romance I am allowed to engage with in relation to locks and keys. My only regret is not finding my career til I was 29yrs old.
Still, between reading this book at my friend's place in my hometown of Sydney and starting work in the industry over in England with no experience and a big serve of brave was only 4 months. I'm pretty proud of that bit, glass ceilings and all ....

I have this book. You can have it too. You're just looking in the wrong place. Look here:

or even use the google product search:

One more thing, you probably should not blog about what you want to get from eBay until after it is over as you are essentially advertising the item and as a result might end up having to bid against some of your readers!
Thanks RESTRAINTSBLOG - I have learned this the hard way, as YOU outbid me on the cute Deny Padlock I sent you a link to! Heh!
So long as it goes to someone who will appreciate it, I'm fine with that.
Good advice about the eBay thing, thanks
