The Book of Decorative Knots

Rating:
Summary: Very helpful book
Review: I found this book to be a wonderful resource. It has clear diagrams for each knot, easily followed if one is a beginning knot tyer. It also covers knots not usually found in sailing and climbing (functional) knot manuals. This is a great starter book for those who are not certain they are "into" knotting yet, as it is quite inexpensive. Happy knotting!

Summary: Utterly worthless
Review: There were many knots (clove hitch) that aren't even represented but that's not the real problem. I gave it 1 star because following Owen's directions (and not my own knowledge of knot tying) I got only the multiple overhand knot correctly (not even the figure-8!). The Morrow book, which I thought passable, looks like a gem compared to this one...The search continues.

Review: This book is way to simplified - It doesn't have step-by-step pictures for knotting some difficult knots (3 pictures just won't do it for beginners like me).
