What Our Customers Say...

In the publisher's original cloth binding.
Profusely illustrated throughout, with a sketch of each knot described to the margins.
This book, originally published in the US in 1944, contains almost four thousand variants of knots alongside their practical applications.
Written by Clifford Warren Ashley who was a sailor and knot expert. This work is perhaps his most famous.
