Geoffrey Budworth (Author). The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and Ropework is a collection of images for some of the most common knots and plaits. They are digital images of fairly good quality. It is not an encyclopedia of knots and rope work. I know all the basic general purpose knots very well, can tie about 30 from memory and am familiar with about a 100 including some simple decorative knots. I know most of the knots in this book but some are new.
This book coupled with Budworth's The Complete Book of Knots would make a complete library for any beginner. But this book is too much, in my opinion, for the ordinary reader who just wants to learn a few useful knots
This book coupled with Budworth's The Complete Book of Knots would make a complete library for any beginner. But this book is too much, in my opinion, for the ordinary reader who just wants to learn a few useful knots. The fact that this book uses photographs would normally make me downgrade it, but number of step-by-step pictures for each knot offset that.

Simple Knots & Basic Ropework book. Covers 90 different knots, bends, hitches, loops and plaits.
Cyber Terrorism: Political and Economic Implications is a cyber terrorism brief that outlines many of the recent terrorist activities, political objectives, and their use of cyberspace.
This title shows how to tie 75 bends, hitches, knots, bindings, loops, mats, plaits, rings and slings in 500 practical colour photographs. It covers 75 different knots, hitches, bends, loops and plaits, together with advice of how each one can be used. Each stage of knot tying is shown in clear photographs accompanied with easy-to-follow explanatory text. It also includes valuable advice and information on materials, types of rope, breaking strengths, terms and techniques.
Book is large, contains more photos then text, and includes some but not much history of each knot. Mainly it is step by step, high-gloss, full-color pictures of all the steps with colored ropes and nice images of the knots in use or in nice stills
Book is large, contains more photos then text, and includes some but not much history of each knot. This is a good book whether you are trying to keep your shoes tied(square(reef)),making a coveted Diamond hitch, or the feared but utilitarian hangman's noose. Mainly it is step by step, high-gloss, full-color pictures of all the steps with colored ropes and nice images of the knots in use or in nice stills. Some knots have two steps, some take up a page or more so the detail and every step is there, I'd estimate 97% of the time. I learn to tie so many knots from this, my first, knot book. It is a handy reference, not too thick and not too large.
