Book Reviews of Pocket Guide to Knots & Splices

Book Review: Beautifully illustrated
Summary: 4 Stars

The color photographs in this book make it a winner for anyone who is learning to tie knots-- it's easy to see where everything is supposed to go. The knots are broken down by type-- stopper knots, hitches, etc., with several of each type. The directions are clear and easy to follow, and there are explanations of why you might choose to use each knot.

The only downside is that some of the detailed photos are a bit small, though they're still fairly easy to follow.
