Joy of Cooking: Pie Dough

Seventy-five years ago, a St. Louis widow named Irma Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book called The Joy of Cooking. Her daughter Marion tested recipes and made the illustrations, and they sold their mother-daughter project from Irma's apartment. Today, nine revisions later, the Joy of Cooking -- selected by The New York Public Library as one of the 150 most important and influential books of the twentieth century -- has taught tens of millions of people to cook, helped feed and delight millions beyond that, answered countless kitchen and food questions, and averted many a cooking crisis.

my crusts never turn out

this seems complex

Rolling out the pie dough doesn't look to be too difficult, but transferring it by wrapping it around the rolling pin or folding it looks impossible. I'd think it would stretch or tear easily. Can you roll it on a sheet of waxed paper, and then invert it instead?
