Knot Craft
Publisher: illustrations: Ann Norman Adlard Coles Nautical, 2003 £ 10.99
At last, a knot book that really shows the reader 'how to' almost as well as a lesson from a master; and Des Pawson really is a master of his craft.
This is a book for those of us who have learned the half dozen knots and splices we actually need but want to go further, much further. Each of the 28 projects is well explained. Each step is as clear as it could be and with illustrations, superbly executed by Ann Norman, helping the newest beginner. Des tells you how to start each piece of work, how much line of what thickness you will need, and even what to do with the left over ends. If you have ever fiddled with rope for fun, buy this book. Learn how to tie a Star knot and what to do with it once you know how. Your reviewer has.- IGW
