I was a boy scout. Later on, I was even an assistant scout master. I taught scouts to tie knots. However, when it came to teaching our daughter to tie useful knots I discovered that over the many years my skills had atrophied more than a little. This book, with good illustrations, proved to be very useful.

Good book

Great knots. Pictures come after words sometimes confusing me. A bit windy but ok if you are patient. A general learning book on knots.

This book gives the reader a good basic foundation. Must read the entire book so one will have an understanding of the terminology used.
