Book Reviews of The Ashley Book of Knots
Book Review: "I'm a bit tied up at the moment."
Summary: 5 Stars
First published in 1944, THE ASHLEY BOOK OF KNOTS is a fundamental reference work for anyone who works with rope, be you a sailor, stevedore, circus acrobat or dominatrix.
Seemingly every knot in the world is presented and deconstructed, from the most prosaic bowline to intricate monkey's fists and rope buttons and fasteners.
Less practical to put aboard a boat than THE MARLINSPIKE SAILOR (due to its size and weight) ASHLEY makes a great addition to your den's bookshelf. If you are the kind of person who loves creating intricate artwork, this book will entertain and instruct you for years to come.
