Book Reviews of The Splicing Handbook: Techniques for Modern and Traditional Ropes, Second Edition

Book Review: A good book
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a good and inexpensive book. You'll find a lot of information about splicing, perhaps more than you will ever need.

The problem with a book is that you have to understand how the strands -- and which strands -- lie up next to each other. It's not that easy to figure out the first time around. I learned how by watching my Dad. That gave me an idea how splices are made.

Consider Amazon's software on splicing; ISBN 0970971419 if you just want to learn common splices. It's a software program for beginners to do the basic splices in front of a computer. It's more expensive, though.
