Customer Reviews

Excellent book!

I bought this book for my husband and he LOVED it! It's a beautiful book with nice color pictures and diagrams.

Really usable

With 120 knots/bends/etc, this is perhaps not definitive, but certainly complete for almost any usage. It is profusely illustrated with clear, easy-to-read photographs, and has easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Covering everything from the most basic to the decorative, with suggestions for the use of each, it would be a practical and beautiful assistance for anyone who has always wanted to know how to tie those nifty knots.
