About the series... Shibari is the Japanese-inspired art of tying a subject to not only immobilize them, but to do so elegantly and beautifully - creating an intimate and erotic experience for both the subject and the person tying. Adopted by rope enthusiasts all over the world, shibari (literally "to tie" or "to bind") is a cornerstone of erotic rope art and the subject of captivating performances and photographs. However, in-depth resources for learning the art are difficult to obtain, making shibari intimidating, obscure and difficult to master... Until now. The Complete Shibari series is the most complete and accessible English-language guide to shibari ever published. Author Douglas Kent strips away shibari's mystery and reveals how to create visually stunning compositions with rope and the human form, in your own home or play space. About Complete Shibari: Land Complete Shibari Volume 1: Land explores the essential ground-based ties and forms of shibari. With short, clear explanations and over 450 lavish, step-by-step illustrations and photographs, Douglas Kent introduces the basic "building blocks", then guides you in applying those basics to create a full range of beautiful and exciting ground-based shibari ties. This is not a "knot book" - if you can tie an overhand knot, you already know half the knots you'll ever need. This practical, hands-on guide to doing shibari covers everything from choosing and preparing rope, to scene safety, to the techniques, and the reasoning behind the techniques. Complete Shibari Volume 1: Land is a ground-breaking, must-have book for anyone interested in playing with rope. Buy it today and tie tonight!

Excellent book for the next level of bondage,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Shibari Volume 1: Land (Paperback)
I purchased this book primarily because the cover art looks great. Fortunately, it's even better inside. This book is not a basic, 1010 level bondage book, but I already own quite a few of those. If you're looking for a beginner book, I'd recommend the "Two Knotty Boys." But if you're ready for the next step, this book is perfect.

This review is from: Complete Shibari Volume 1: Land (Paperback)
This is my new favorite bondage book. It is packed edge to edge with color photographs and helpful instructions. If you are looking for the most useful information in the smallest most well illustrated package this is it.

Excellent for Intermediate & Advanced Enthusiasts,
This review is from: Complete Shibari Volume 1: Land (Paperback)
As a professional Domina and educator, I've been doing rope bondage for more than 10 years and I'm pretty darn good at it. Most books on Shibari leave me little to learn and are filled with beginner material, so they end up prettying up my shelves. I had purchased the author's previous book (The Better Built Bondage Book) and was pretty disappointed. This book, however, has been fantastic! It assumes you have a basic understanding of rope bondage already (and if you don't, there are LOTS of beginner materials elsewhere), and doesn't waste time over-explaining things that ought to be obvious. I loved the section on frictions, making the important distinction between knots and turns for friction. The photos are clear and crisp, and I just adore the icons! I was able to improve some of my techniques in minutes. I was very fond of the author's variant of the ladder-- especially making the slave hold the book in his teeth while I tied him up. ;)I am looking forward to reading Volume 2.
