Review

If you'd like to get all tied up in knots, literally, here's the book for you. This forth edition covers the basics, and then goes into the more complicated and decorative knots. The excellent illustrations make it all look easy, however. It will walk you through various projects that will keep you occupied on a long crossing. (Latitudes & Attitudes)
