Excellent book for the next level of bondage, 7 Dec 2010
By R. Jennings - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Complete Shibari Volume 1 (Paperback)
I purchased this book primarily because the cover art looks great. Fortunately, it's even better inside. This book is not a basic, 1010 level bondage book, but I already own quite a few of those. If you're looking for a beginner book, I'd recommend the "Two Knotty Boys." But if you're ready for the next step, this book is perfect.

My New Favorite, 21 Oct 2010

This is my new favorite bondage book. It is packed edge to edge with color photographs and helpful instructions. If you are looking for the most useful information in the smallest most well illustrated package this is it.

Excellent for Intermediate & Advanced Enthusiasts, 12 Jan 2012

As a professional Domina and educator, I've been doing rope bondage for more than 10 years and I'm pretty darn good at it. Most books on Shibari leave me little to learn and are filled with beginner material, so they end up prettying up my shelves. I had purchased the author's previous book (The Better Built Bondage Book) and was pretty disappointed. This book, however, has been fantastic! It assumes you have a basic understanding of rope bondage already (and if you don't, there are LOTS of beginner materials elsewhere), and doesn't waste time over-explaining things that ought to be obvious. I loved the section on frictions, making the important distinction between knots and turns for friction. The photos are clear and crisp, and I just adore the icons! I was able to improve some of my techniques in minutes. I was very fond of the author's variant of the ladder-- especially making the slave hold the book in his teeth while I tied him up. ;)
I am looking forward to reading Volume 2.
