About this product
Product Information
This is the definitive book on knots. Here are approximately 3900 different kinds, from simple hitches to "Marlingspike Seamanship." Mr. Ashley has included almost everything there is to know about them. Precisely named and classified (some new ones for the first time officially), they can be easily found in the big index. He tells when they appeared, something about their history, and what they are good for. Above all, Mr. Ashley gives explicit directions on how to tie them. He describes each step simply and clearly in the text and has penned right alongside some 7000 drawings to make it still more graphic. This book and a piece of cord will open a new and challenging world of practical adventure to readers of all ages. Mr. Ashley has devoted eleven years to writing this book, and it is based on forty years of looking for, trying out, and thinking up new knots. His drawings abound in humor and the text is full of colorful anecdotes. The Ashley Book of Knots will make a unique and permanent addition to any library.

Reviews
'' The Ashley Book of Knots' is regarded as the Bible of knot-tyers.... But "The Ashley Book" is no nostalgia trip. It's too punchy -- too cheerful and too well-written. Like the best cookbooks or collections of movie reviews, it's a great dip-in read: Sit down at the breakfast table, flip the book open to any page, and you'll find an appetizing morsel to gnaw on." -- The New York Times

- u***c (178)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI think it was probably exactly as advertised. It kept falling apart when I was using it but I don't think it was the fault of the item. Just not sure. Will probably just buy a different shampooer in the future. Smooth transaction though. Thanks!!
