What Knot? Useful knots for scouting and climbing is book on 35 pages written by Martin Stone. "What I was looking for was something that had very clear diagrams, was downloadable for local printing, and focussed on knots relevant to Australian scouting activities. Finding nothing that suited, I decided to write it myself. Whether or not I succeeded in these objectives is for you to judge. But in the process I have enjoyed myself immensely. I have always found knots an intriguing, practical, and satisfying pastime." - Martin Stone

It's Not What's in Your Mouth But What's in Your Mind...
This is not another "diet book" - there are no menus, calorie charts or exercise programs - but it is a book you must read before you try to lose weight again.
In this handbook of Knots & Splices Charles Gibson gives us a practical and simple guide to all the basic techniques involved in typing hempen, synthetic, and wire ropes. Gibson also advises regarding the construction, care, and strength of ropes; blocks and tackles; fancy work with ropes including mats and plaits; and splicing. The heart of the book, however, is the knots and ropework described in detail and celerity illustrated for easy instruction.
The ABC of knots - a must have for everyone; 23 basic knots and one rope trick in a wonderful little book that tells you everything you need to know about knots in your daily life. Think you know already? Read this book and think again. The book's die-cut pages are made of cardboard and two pieces of rope are included so you can follow the clear and concise instructions on the opposite page to find your way around. Text and illustrations are very well done, giving a good value for your money
