Product Description

Tying down a load of lumber is one thing; tying up your partner is another thing altogether. In this book, famed bondage riggers the Two Knotty Boys show readers how to tie basic knots and use them in sensual bondage techniques. With the help of renowned photographer Ken Marcus, the Boys use more than 750 full-color photos to illustrate the techniques for turning rope into rope bondage. Easy-to-follow captions and clear, step-by-step images allow readers to learn at their own pace, review entire techniques at a glance, or lay the book flat on a bed or table and follow along as they subdue their partner. Written in a playful style that makes rope bondage safe and approachable, and covering a wide range of techniques from basic ties to decorative ropework pieces, Two Knotty Boys Back on the Ropes is the perfect bedside companion for curious newcomers and serious players alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, February 18, 2009

I bought the first book that the Knotty Boys put out and was satisfied with that, but this book is even better than the first. More ties, easy to read instructions and great pictures. If you are just starting out or have been practicing for a while, this is definitely something to pick up.

Informative, entertaining, excellent photography and pretty girls. A 'must have' for anyone interested even slightly in rope bondage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but could be better, March 28, 2009

By	W. D. Neumann (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very nice follow-up to the first Knotty Boys book, full of interesting and useful ties that ought to be plenty of fun to explore. However, there are a few small problems with the book that prevent me from giving it a five star rating.

First of all despite the product description above, which suggests you can lay the book flat while working out of it, it doesn't have a lay-flat binding. Seeing as how both of your hands are going to be busy tying the knots, some kind of weight or clip is needed to ensure the book doesn't close on you as you work.

Next, the pictures that illustrate the steps of each knot are smaller than they should be (just 1.5 inches square), which makes it hard to see what's going on in some of the steps. I would have been happier with larger pictures, even if the resulting increase in the number of pages would have meant a somewhat higher price.

And finally, there are more decorative ties in the book than I would have liked, but this is a fairly minor complaint, as I'm sure other will find them quite useful.

Bottom line, great content, flawed execution.
