Each one comes with a short introduction about its properties, easy-to-follow instructions and clear step-by-step photographs showing every single stage.

Special sections are devoted to knots used for shortening ropes, those for use as tackles for lifting and moving weights, and importantly, knots that can be tied with only one hand for emergency situations. This essential book will enable you to master 70 of the most useful knots with absolute confidence.
