Description

If you are really into knots like I am and want to view one of the best source books on knots then I highly recommend this book. More knots then the internet, honestly in a decision between referencing the internet or this book, I would look in the book first! First published in 1944, and reprinted many times since then, the latest reissue of this magnificent book contains, for the first time, fully illustrated details of all minor amendments and corrections that have come to light over the years.

Just let me say, I picked this one up out of curousity at the library, started browsing through it, and kept browsing for the next two days. I've referred to this beautifully illustrated book many times when looking for just theright way to rig something up in the yard, fastening cargo to the roof of the car, tying my kids to the flagpole. Even if you don't like knotcraft, you simply have to get ahold of this book for a few moments just to flip through. The Knotting Matters issues cited in the above Knot News article are: KM1, KM28, KM31, KM32, and KM33.It adds interest that it identifies dangerous variations of well known knots with a skull and crossbones! Small tear to bottom right-hand corner of front dustjacket, otherwise minor shelfwear to dustjacket and its extremities, slight shelfwear to extremities of bookcovers, otherwise fine.

He describes each step simply and clearly in the text and has penned right alongside some 7000 drawings to make it still more graphic. x 9" The Ashley Book of Knots is an encyclopedia of knots written and illustrated by the American sailor and artist Clifford W. But it's so much more than just an enyclopedia of knots; it's also a glimpse into the history of their use and utility. He was an author and painter of consummate skill, well regarded for his paintings of ships and the sea and for his illustrations.This is probably the most important book on the subject, and has more knots listed than any other book.

With classics such as Ted Hughes's The Iron Man and award-winners including Emma Carroll's Letters from the Lighthouse, Faber Children's Books brings you the best in picture books, young reads and classics. The commentary on some knots may fail to address their behavior when tied with modern synthetic fiber or kernmantle style ropes.This is the definitive reference on the subject and well worth adding to ANY library, public, private, or personal. The glimpse into the history that goes along with some of the knots adds even more value to the book.
