Not a bad starting point.
More of a pretty picture book than an exhaustive instruction manual, as the writer is more concerned with talking about the emotional and psychological interplay between humans doing rope bondage, and the photographer is more into the aesthetics of the photos and the models than making clear instructions for the knot tying techniques.
Despite this quibble, it is still a worthwhile book for those who are curious about Japanese-style rope bondage and its use in kink situations, as well as a primer for people who are interested in getting started in this art form. There are useful references at the back of the book for resources and further reading.

I think this is a fantastic addition to the series and introduces even more awesome ties to try. I'm rating it 4 stars as it mentions referring to the previous book for previous ties while also including information from the last book which I felt was a waste.

Another one of the best!

There is so much more to this book than learning ties.
