Knots

very good book with great diagrams and pictures, a must for anyone interested in knots

I really enjoy this book. Its directions are clear and informative. He explains what the knot is useful for. (even if it is just: It is a fun knot." I am going to order a few extra copies as presents.

This is a great reference for anyone doing beginner to intermediate knot tying in a wide range of fields. I bought it for nautical reference and teaching on a training vessel, but it covers climbing and other fields with equal aplomb. It's not a comprehensive reference, but it's VERY thorough for any practical use, and it covers some background, tools and theory as well. Great book. Small size (meaning small print... but easy to take with you). Very clean and clear images. Well worth adding to your library.

Exceptional clarity and completness. Highly recommended if you are interested in knots or "How to make a rope into a tool"

I've looked at a lot of knot books from people like Ashley, Budworth, and Pawson. This is easily one of the best! It's very user-friendly, with clear instructions and good drawings. Most of the knots are practical so it isn't cluttered with esoteric fancy knots that do nothing. My only caveat is a bit more could be said about pros and cons of various knots.
