"Knot for (k)nothing is this book the bees knees of books about knots. How to tie knots with simple, helpful photographs. Tie up your loose ends today!"
"I've quite a collection of knot books, and I would say that this is the best of them. Of course it doesn't have the sheer volume of Ashley's and yes there is that obligatory first chapter about rope strength and different types that will go ignored - we're here for the knots afterall - but even that is quite readable. The book gives a good selection of knots, including both those very useful and those useful for showing off with as they're quite unusual. There's also a key that gives the general uses of the knots and a short history for each entry. And yes, perhaps the most important test, the diagrams and instructions are fairly simple to follow so that you can actually learn from the book. Of course, it is just about always better to learn from someone else as both parties will get more enjoyment that way, but for advanced knotheads as well as those aspiring, this is an essential book in the knot-tying library."
