The 5th Edition has added a collection of photographs and foreword by Des Pawson. It was hard to imagine this collection being any better. However, this soft cover book is a treasure trove of knots, hitches, bends, plaits, and netting- the standard work on practical and decorative knots and ropework. Anyone tempted to try their hand at this will be able to follow in the footsteps of the traditional seamen who have gone before thanks to Stuart Grainger's exquisite and very detailed drawings.
Included are crown and wall knots, turk's heads, door knockers, mats, netting, belts, cuff links, table lamps, rope-edged, trays, monkey fists and more !
The late Stuart Grainger was a Master Mariner of wide experience and a member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers (IGKT)
