Just got this book. Looks to be avery good manual, with lots of technical detail.However, the 191 page book has about 100 pages in the middle devoted to somewhat superfluous examples of line intersections. I wanted to let everyone know that the software is available for purchase at the author's home page: http://www.net-shopper.co.uk/creative/celtic/index.htm

A simple method to describe how Celtic knotwork is drawn.

This book helped me create my own program for creating PostScript knotwork designs, presenting the structure of the knotwork in a simple, regular manner. END

I agree!

This is a great book. I have been looking for the software for about a year. If you find it, let me know..

Unique technique, advertised software tied up where?

Sloss has very cleverly simplified the drawing of Celtic knotwork and in theory has created software to aid in using the same techniques to draw the knots. But, where is the software? How can one obtain it? Is it Windows95 friendly

Finally--an easy way to create your own knotwork designs!

Andy Sloss presents simple techniques for creating original celtic knotwork desigs. WARNING -- this book may only appeal to either mechanically-minded folk or Virgos! But if you fall into either of those categories, you'll love it
