This is a great book for learning knots and their purpose. Easy to follow illustrations in a spiral bound book. Over 60 of the best knots organized by use (sailing, camping, climbing, fishing, farming, and general purpose).
I bought it to learn to tie knots for camping and have gotten so much more from this one book.

Just like it says on the cover. This is perfect for anyone that's into climbing, camping, sailing, fishing and might I add... off-roading. Keep a copy nearby so it's handy (vehicle, boat or nightstand). The key to becoming proficient with knot tying? Practice, practice and practice some more. Can I hear an Amen?
Really good book to have
