“Shows how a relatively simple series of ‘formulas’ can be applied, rather like a new language, to enable the reader to create knotwork patterns very quickly...opens new doors for the serious artist interested in learning the language of Celtic knotwork.”—Recreating History.

This review is from: How To Draw Celtic Knotwork: A Practical Handbook (Paperback)
Just got this book. Looks to be avery good manual, with lots of technical detail.However, the 191 page book has about 100 pages in the middle devoted to somewhat superfluous examples of line intersections. I wanted to let everyone know that the software is available for purchase at the author's home page: http://www.net-shopper.co.uk/creative/celtic/index.htm

it's selling something,
This review is from: How To Draw Celtic Knotwork: A Practical Handbook (Paperback)
Contrary to it's title this book is in no way a practical handbook. At first glance when you read through the introduction and part one, the instructions it gives sound easy to follow and it makes it seem as though all this requires is a grid and some mindless drawing of lines. But it turns out that it is the exact opposite. There are numerous rules to remember and different combinations that aren't allowed to be near eachother and the border area is where he really loses you, the structure of the border changes the rules for the entire knot all of which must be memorized unless you want to end up with a jumble of loose ends. It would be enough to say that it sounds quite viable in theory but is completely inviable in practice. I believe the main goal of this book was to sell the computer program that was developed by the author

This review is from: How To Draw Celtic Knotwork: A Practical Handbook (Paperback)
This book helped me create my own program for creating PostScript knotwork designs, presenting the structure of the knotwork in a simple, regular manner. END
