 If you are new to knots this book is helpful March 23, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was new to knots so I found this book rather entertaining, it is not too technical nor too complex, neither too large. It indicates the use of the knots so it comes kinda handy. I think I am ready for next-level knots (more elaborated).
 Disappointing November 12, 2007

I picked this book up to learn how to tie a couple of the more obscure climbing knots like the trident and triple bowline and to have fun with the rest. The book is well organized (except for the utterly useless directory of knots), and the diagrams are large. My gripe is that he skips steps, and magically produces extra slack halfway through a knot. There are cases where I have thrown the book down and had to figure it out by trial and error (not what I paid $20 for). Furthermore some of the methods he uses to tie knots (such as the butterfly) are flat out strange, or clumsy. When I'm up 100 feet and my life depends on it I need more efficiency.
 My "Go To" book for knots May 20, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book in Escalante, Utah, when doing my first canyoneering excursion. I have seen many other books since, but this remains my favorite.
1) It has very clear pictures that make it easy to follow the instructions
2) As other reviewers have written, each knot has a little history blurb about it. Nice touch!
3) The book is organized logically - by use (boating, fishing, caving, etc.)
4) The book contains more knots than you could ever possibly want to know.
Highly recommend to someone looking for a "One Stop" knot book.
My Son the Sailor Loved This book April 11, 2007
I bought this book for my son, who is a sailor and lives aboard his sailboat. He said it was great. I didn't see it, but for that application, it was just what he was looking for.
 Great selection March 14, 2007
I liked this book because of the shear number of knots included in it. Some of the illustrations are a little hard to follow, but most of them I had no problem with. I also think the small blurb on the history of each knot is pretty cool.
