I was taught it at a mental hospital, as therapy. I also found that chained bed sheets worked very nicely for getting out the window!!

ISBN 0-688-01226-4. It's an inexpensive and very good paperback. Lots of color photos. My favorite is the Hunter's Bend - very elegant. This book should keep you busy when you can't paddle and will give you too many options when you're trying to rig a tarp, tie up a parcel...
