„I highly recommend this book! It will change the way you look at the art of quick change !“
G. Kaurin „Diamond“, quick change artist
„The most important part of the book is of course the methods of fastening. In this part of the book, the author has done a very clever thing – consulting many people and many resources of what has been already published on this issue for their own methods. Believe me, I was surprized how many different methods there are. The simplicity of some of them and the complexity of the others is amazing.“
Matt McCoy
