"An absolutely lovely and comprehensive reference book. There is knotting information in this book that you would never think of looking for. Then, you wouild wonder why you never thought of it."
"An incredible resource, though I think if I buy a book on knots I will look for something a little more compact. Published in 1944, so there's a lot of interesting history in it as well as lots of fascinating information on useful and decorative knots."
"There is no book or website on the subject that is more definitive. This book sets the standard and is referenced by nearly every website and other book on the subject, that I've ever read. There's over 10 knots for every task you can think of and then there's the best knot for the job. They're all illustrated in this book.
Plus, the history and lingo make for some very interesting reading. This is one of my most frequented books. Every household should have a copy of this book available."
