Excellent manual for knotting

The excellent photographies of the knots leading from one step to the next are the best didactical material I have found since my boy scout days nearly half a century ago.A welcome addition for the classical scholar is the section on "Knots in History and in Folklore". Now I know that the hitch I used to strap a bottle to my belt is over two millennia old, and the knot I used most with the scouts and firefighters has its own meaning in old Roman matrimonial ceremonies.I strongly recommend this book, especially because of its reasonable price, to the beginner and advanced student

Excellent photos on how to tie knots!

One of the best books I've found on knots. More comprehensive than a small manual but not as overwhelming as Ashley. PLUS, the photographs on how to tie the knots are the best I've found anywhere.
