Does anyone here have an opinion as to which of the books on knot tying is really a great book... This is something I would like to get my kids, ages 11-15, as a fun learning tool. I have found many pretty good books...but not one that I think is truly a superior item. One of the things I find most lacking in knot books that I already own is a true description of the real utility of each of the knots it describes...ie one book I bought for my helpers at work has a lot of great fun knots to tie, but one of the guys, an accomplished climber, says of it is full of great knots that are largely useless. :) Thanks...

There is only one book about knots worthy of being called superior: "Ashley Book of Knots" On May 25, 2005, at 4:44 PM, Michael wrote: > Does anyone here have an opinion as to which of the books on knot > tying > is really a great book... > > This is something I would like to get my kids, ages 11-15, as a fun > learning tool. > > I have found many pretty good books...but not one that I think is > truly > a superior item. > > One of the things I find most lacking in knot books that I already own > is a true description of the real utility of each of the knots it > describes...ie > one book I bought for my helpers at work has a lot of great fun > knots to > tie, but one of the guys, an accomplished climber, says of it is > full of > great knots that are largely useless. :) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
