Bad Illustrations and Many Mistakes,
By sugarlump "raconteur" (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of Knots and Ropework (Hardcover)
As other people have commented about the other books by Budworth: his books suffer from poor photography (hands obscuring knots, rope ends not visible) and what's much worse, just plain mistakes. I took this book out of the local library to see whether it's worth buying. It isn't. Take the Midshipman's or Tautline Hitch as an example: Budworth has it tied wrong according to every source on the Internet I could find. That's just unforgivable! I ended up buying Handbook of Knots : EXPANDED EDITION (Paperback) by Des Pawson. Excellent book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Clear directions for many knots,
By
This review is from: The Complete Book of Knots and Ropework (Hardcover)
Good step-by-step pictures for a huge number of knots, well arranged by use, with brief historical and practical notes. Illustrations are attractive and varied; the book is fun to browse as well as a useful reference if you have a task in mind. Variations are given for some knots.
I don't know what the problem with the Midshipman's Hitch would be. Budworth matches Wikipedia, except for being mirror-image. I got this book from the library... I came here looking for one to keep on my shelf.
