A must for your knotting practice and your bookshelf!
Geoffrey has outdone himself with this very handy book of knots. The illustrations are clear, the photos expand on the text and relate directly to it and his opening leaves no stone unturned in the knot-tying realm. Geoffrey's other books are good but this one really brings them all together in a very easy to access format. Great job of publishing and of writing!

Five stars easy
I've owned half a dozen knot books, and this is the best of them. The problem with so many knot books is they show you step three as step one, and make you feel like an idiot because you can't even start. This one doesn't do that. It has by far the easiest instructions for a monkey's fist of any book I've seen. I don't get the critical reviews. The author is a certified knot superstar and ...

Really usable
With 120 knots/bends/etc, this is perhaps not definitive, but certainly complete for almost any usage. It is profusely illustrated with clear, easy-to-read photographs, and has easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Covering everything from the most basic to the decorative, with suggestions for the use of each, it would be a practical and beautiful assistance for anyone who has always wanted ...

Knot books don?t get any better or simpler than this.
This is the best knot book out for sailors and a great knot book for everyday users. So, how many knots does one need to know to sail safely? Some say as few as three, but Budworth shows you how to tie over 60 nautical knots, each with step-by-step color instructions. He has an excellent introduction that covers history, tools, terms, material and construction of cord. Each of the ...

Good book to learn the most common knots
The Encyclopedia of Knots covers most of the basic knots that a person would be likely to need under normal conditions. The high point of this book is the quality of the illustrations. Between drawn illustrations and large photographs it is easy to follow along. The knots are correct and the illustrations represent the knots as tied. This may sound like what you should expect from a knot book ...

The Complete Guide to Knots and Knot Tying
Geoffrey Budworth

Hermes House, London, 2000

This is a full color, high quality paperback with various knot tying methods outlined and demonstrated. It has a publisher in the U.S. but this is the European edition of this same book. Covers are heavy, binding is study. Excellent "how to" book.

Practical Knots
Thus is an honest book that is exactly what it claims to be in the title. Practical knots. It is not a book of fancy decorative macrame knots for the bored housewife, nor is it a book of knots so complex that no one remembers how to tie them, or to fancy up a bell rope. But what it is, is a lot of information for people who have a need for knots in practical use. It should be a Bible for ...

You are better off with the tide book
I taught myself to tie fishing knots by following the guides published in the back of the tide books that are given away by every gas station and sporting goods store on the coast. I hopped that this book would allow me to learn some more specialized knots. But when I sat down and started tying the knots I found the instructions hard to follow, with too few steps shown. One knot I tried could not ...

"Challenging Knots"
I am a big fan of Budworth's knot books and when I saw a title of "Challenging Knots", I ordered it before it was released. The book is well put together, with gorgeous illustrations. Unfortunately, I've seen most of them before! It seems that this book is just "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and Ropework" on the SlimFast plan. The illustrations and text are nearly identical, though ...

Best knot book I've seen
I've look at a half dozen other knot books over the years, and this is the best one I've seen. Very clear photos of the tying procedures, along with the use of differently colored ropes when more than two ropes are being used, and nice, glossy paper so the photos look great, make this a very visually appealing knot book to just browse, or to seriously learn from. Also the author includes some ...

This book paid for itself
I'm not a knot expert, nor do I play one on TV, but I found this book useful and interesting enough to buy two copies. I found the first one at my local independent bookstore and bought it for my nephew's birthday present. Once I had it at home I considered giving him one of my other 6 knot books and keeping this one for myself because I found the pictures much clearer than the other books on ...
