Best to have two copies in case one gets loaned out and not returned.
For sure, two copies...
Checkering may be a bigger undertaking than one would think. How many really have the time to invest to learn it.
Reading books by the masters is key, then buying good tools, etc. LOTS of practice and time invested. The masters didn't get there overnight..
But, if that's your goal, go for it. Those guys first had to have the goal, the passion to become what they ultimately became.
