Summary: Knot books don?t get any better or simpler than this.
Review: This is the best knot book out for sailors and a great knot book for everyday users. So, how many knots does one need to know to sail safely? Some say as few as three, but Budworth shows you how to tie over 60 nautical knots, each with step-by-step color instructions. He has an excellent introduction that covers history, tools, terms, material and construction of cord. Each of the diagrams has the knots history, application and a written instruction that 99% of the time is not needed. Budworth breaks down sailing knots into five sections: Stoppers, Loops, Bends, Hitches and Others. Finally, he gives you a glossary, a bibliography of numerous knotting manuals, and tells you how you can join `The International Guild of Knot Tyers". The only thing missing is a section on knot jokes. Knot books don't get any better or simpler than this. If you are going to buy one book to learn to tie knots this is the one. Highly recommended
