Like one of the other buyers, I got this on an impulse ( but when leaving Waterstones in the UK, rather than Barnes and Noble ) . The book is just disorganized- refers you to knots later on rather than ones you've seen earlier. The diagrams are impossible to follow in some cases. The author clearly meant well- he's keen on his subject. He just needed a decent editor and didn't get one. Plus, the main gimmick- the rope included with the book- is of such poor quality that it unravels itself after 2 or 3 uses. Sorry to say it, but avoid.

I bought this for my brother for his birthday. He was surprised and very happy. He's likes to camp and boat so this will come in handy. He was soooo happy that he wanted to know where I bought it so he could buy some for his friends. Great instuction book included.
Well laid out

Format:Paperback
Very well laid out with a lot of description about why a knot is tied in such a way, plus the history and organization of various methods. More than a catalogue of knots, or encyclopedia of obscure lashings or art knots. I have other books of knot tying, but this fills a spot for those with little time and who would like to get a broad, thorough foundation in this hobby. It is a beginners book, but useful. This caught my eye on the way out of a B&N, because of it's packaging with cords of various widths with which to practice. There are references for various useful websites in the back, after a glossary, to take my skills further. At the current price, I feel as if I came away the better for the bargain. Glad I saw this.
