Reviews

"Best selling book on rope and wire work. First published in 1963 and now fully updated to include modern ropes and fibres. In colour and truly pocket sized. Simple, straightforward and informative."
Gaffer's Log (December 2006)

'Some information on slipping, untying and other aspects of the knots is accompanied by curiosities of interest. The small size makes this a very handy pocket guide.'
Canoeist (June 2007)
