About this title

Synopsis

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. Truly comprehensive in scope, this encyclopedia begins with a history of knots and rope making and proceeds into the how-to of tying and of making useful and decorative articles with rope.

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
• Directions for creating a host of practical items from rope

Both seasoned professionals and newcomers to the artform will find this encyclopedia to be a treasure trove of valuable tips and insights.
