All the Knots You Need: An Illustrated Guide by Lee, Robert Stanley - 1999

Ottawa, Canada: Algrove Publishing, 1999. Hardcover. Very Good-. Presumed First Edition. This book "presents far fewer knots [than the well-known "Ashley Book of Knots"] but in a more useful format, showing what knots are suited to a given task and showing how to tie them so that one who is not a master rigger will be able to produce them with ease." As well as how to tie many different knots, book deals with how to choose the right material, as well as six appendices: fiber characteristics; breaking strength of ropes; rope care; rope fiber selection; glossary; and some books on knots, as well as a comprehensive index. Blue cloth with gilt titling on spine and front, paste-down colour illustration on front, brown, black and white illustrations throughout, 84 pages as well as 20 pages of appendices and a four-page index. There is a tiny brown speck on leading text block edge, otherwise this handsome book is clean, bright and tight. Shipping charges are calculated for a standard parcel under 1 kg.
