Comprehensive Resource; Maybe too Comprehensive!
This book goes into great detail on everything from types of alarm sensors to how locks are picked. I wouldn't advise reading this book straight through; you would be better served to use it as a resource to explore specific areas of interest.

By D. Buxman "A Seeker of Truth" (Pueblo, CO United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Home Security: How To Select Reliable Locks And Alarms For Your Home, Office, Or Car (Paperback)
This book goes into great detail on everything from types of alarm sensors to how locks are picked.
