Seek this book out, even if you're not looking to get all TIED up in the subject. See what I did there? I'm pretty proud of that. Awesome book! While I see other children playing mindless games on iPhones, I can't get this book and the cord that came with it out of my son's hands.

He has informed me that Petit's method for tying a square knot is superior to the Cub Scout method, and faster as well. This is an amusing yet practical read. After all, Petit's life often depends upon the right knot in the right place at the right time!

Highly recommend this for kids with too much time on their hands, and those with a sense of Awesome book!

Highly recommend this for kids with too much time on their hands, and those with a sense of adventure, as well as adults who never mastered knot-tying. Aug 28, Keith Martin rated it it was amazing. This is the most lively, interesting, and useful book on knots that I've seen. Petit's illustrations and instructions are very clear and easy to follow, and his discussion of the proper uses of each knot is useful.

I learned several new techniques and generalizations, along with a handful of useful new to me knots, and I will never again use the ubiquitous but useless square knot. My biggest surprise is that the tautline hitch my most-used and most useful knot is mentioned only in passing.

Absolutely fascinating. It even includes a little red piece of rope to practice the knots. I learned a couple that I will try to use sometime. I liked it very much. Jun 29, Hom Sack rated it liked it. Not the best book to learn how to tie knots but there is enough interesting information here on the subject. The 40 inch red string that comes with the book is not very useful. Dec 09, Sarah S rated it it was amazing.

You'll want a piece of rope to follow the pictures as you go through the book. Easy to follow illustrations. I borrowed this from the library twice - I need to buy this book for camping! There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
