One of the few excellent knot & craft e-books. Great for Nook.
This book has exceptionally clear illustrations - superb for the Nook Simple Touch. This is not usual for e-books. The Ultimate Book of Decorative Knots, for instance, is not only hard to see the photos, it seizes up and is slow.
This book not only has the newer "fusion" knots of the author's devising, it has some old favorite traditional knots. J. D. Lenzen shows how to tie a Prosperity knot in hand, when before I had to use a pin board. He also helped me find a better way on the Jury Mast Knot ( by another name) and the start of the Snake Sinnet and Japanese Bow Knot and Bugle Cord Sinnet. The barrel knots are much clearer than Ashley.
I am particularly fond of the Pentaradial (fusion) as a pendant knot.
The author also refers to his website, which will give more knotting joy to those interested and access to hundreds of videos. Excellent book. Highly recommended. For those wanting specific projects, combine this with Suzen Millodot' s books in paper from Search Press. (i.e. Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewellery)
Even more valuable to me than this book with its interesting knots, was the fusion knotting concept. Instead of rote learning of famous and traditional knots, it frees up a creative view of knot work. Instead of the same old half dozen knots I learned in macrame, I now feel free to add whatever works.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

It's OK
I wish there was more knots in this book. I bought this book for 1 knot, but was hoping to learn a lot more. This book was recomended to me, but I wouldn't recomend it to anyone else.
