Greykell Dutton said Kindle Edition needs some work. I teach knots at Girl Scout camp and I've been looking for a knot book to carry on my kindle just for reference.This is not that book. The sample doesn't show you any of the knot pictures, so when I actually bought the book I found out that the pictures are of such low quality that you can't even read the names of some of the knots and you certainly can't follow the bends in the picture unless you . T said Knots, Splices, and Rope Work. This book tells you how to tie knots and only shows a couple of the many it covers. Only using this as a reference on which knots I need to investigate further.. not the best knot book steve rutledge Good information just not enough detail or pictures a little more illustrations would make this book alot better and easier to understand
