As a novice to knots I found this book to be the perfect learning guide.
Within 20 minutes I had learned two knots and was hitching the rope to everything in sight!
The book relies on clear colour diagrams to illustrate the tying of each knot and I found these much clearer and easier to follow than other books which use photographic sequences.
Knots are accompanied by advice as to their usage and occasional hints to help identify a mis-tied knot. For splicing and more advanced knots there is also an overview of tools.
Cover the book in sticky-back plastic and keep it in your bag. It is a gem.

Nice little reference book, perhaps a little over-priced.

Good
This book, although it was a lot smaller than I anticipated, was very good. The explanations and clear diagrams ensured that you could produce the 'knots and splices' with ease. Read more
