Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

This beautiful full-colour book covers knots, splices and whippings.

It begins with the ten knots everyone should know. The other knots are grouped by use so that if, for example, you want to make a loop you have eight knots to choose from.

Each stage of each knot is illustrated and its uses, string points and weak points are highlighted.
