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.Product Identifiers

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

Amazing! It's like a rope encyclopedia. Endless knowledge.
Fantastic book for anyone interested in knots or knotwork! This is like the encyclopedia of rope and and it's uses. Everything from knots, to how to hitch a horse, decorative knots, functional knots, ships knots, history of knots, how to bundle rope....etc. Absolutely amazing, it would take a lifetime to learn everything in this book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Definingly a lack luster title that does the contents no justice
The most comprehensive book that was ever written on rope work and its uses. Uses I never heard or thought of. This book has enlightened me on how block and tackle can be used to lighten the load without fear of slipping. How to secure lines quickly and safely. This book has been great for me.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
