I bought copies of Tying the Knot for both my husband and son. They each use the book frequently, my husband for business or when we go out, and my son for dating. My husband especially likes the many well-illustrated ways to fold his handkerchief for his coat's breast pocket. I recommend this book to any guy that wants to look his best!

This pamphlet (too light to be called a book in my opinion) was something of a disappointment. The knots were well described and illustrated but in no way added to my knowledge. The recommendations were difficult to follow but the brief history of ties was interesting. The section on handkerchiefs was similarly uninteresting. As a slim volume it would be a useful guide for the traveller particularly if he were about to wear a tie for the first time in his life upon arrival at his destination.

This small pamphlet had very few tie knots, three i think. And you can find better examples of them by serching on the Internet.
Tiny, and not even worth the shipping.

I am so glad this book came out. My husband can never tie his tie right, and I just have the time to teach him over and over and over. I bought this book for my husband and he loves it. He can do it all by himself now! Wooo Hooo
Thanks,

Remember that great George Harrison tune? I miss him. Anyway, I bought this little book for my damn roommate Warren who used to make me tie his ties around my neck and then pass them back to him. Yes guys actually are that lame. But the book was good for me also because there are knots I didn't know existed. So now I keep a copy in my suitcase for my business travel. Some ties are bulkier than others so it's good to have knot options. The illustrations make it easy and the book is easy to flip through without wasting time searching. Hopefully someday the handkerchief or bowtie pictures may actually come in handy. Knot for Warren of course or George for that matter. Here comes my son.
