A comprehensive history of knots and ropemaking that covers thousands of knots, with how-to instructions for tying and making useful and decorative items with rope.
When this book first published in 1939, it quickly became—and has remained for more than a half century—the classic in its field.

The book includes:
- Descriptions of more than 3,600 knots
- 348 full-page plates with illustrations of the knots described
- A history of ropemaking as an artform
