The Best Knot Book ever!
Contains very easy to follow step by step diagrams that make tying even the most compicated knot exceptionally easy... Especially good for Knot novices..!

Compact, no nonsense book on usefull knots
Concise book 6.5" * 4.5" with clear black and white illustrations for tying knots.
Neatly laid out, with definitions of terms, info on ropes etc.
All you need and nothing more.

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

Clear, concise and effective
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.
