Excellent book. Very worth owning

I refer to this book regularly. It is an excellent book on knots. I am very pleased.

Ricky

This is a great Book for any Fisherman! I'm a fourth generation commercial fisherman and a dedicated sports fisherman; did I learn any new knots? Just one! But it brought back memories of old ones I had forgot. If you would like learning the proper way to tie knots? Yes I recommend this Book. The Images are satisfactory but need work.

Mostly Practical Knots

I enjoy this book. It is well written and generally well illustrated. The book would have been improved by a more careful edit before publication. There seem to be a few illustrations that are misplaced or mis-labeled. Still, I have been able to master a variety of knots that I now use regularly.

Easily the best book on fishing knots

I've looked through all the other books on knots (and/or fishing knots), and even own some of them. This book is the hands-down winner. First, it has ALL the knots. Second, it's very specific about how to tie them, including how many wraps for different situations, and which side the tag end should come through, etc. The only problem with the book is that it can be a little hard for a beginner to figure out what basic set of knots s/he needs for a particular type of fishing (e.g., fly fishing). Although the book makes an effort at this, their suggestions don't jibe with what I've learned in the field and are a bit too complicated.

This is a must-have reference for the fisherman.

This book is one of the best sources for fishing knots, and knot tying, that you can find. The organization is such that you can find quickly several knot options for the task in mind, clear text that explains strengths and weaknesses of each knot and its use, and excellent diagrams that, with a little practice, make the knot yours. I give this book a 9 only because there are a few knots, and short-cut methods of tying them, such as the Turrel (sometimes called Turtle) knot, which are not included. If they were, then this near-ten would be an eleven. This book not only belongs on your book shelf, it needs to be in your tackle box.
