Haven't read it, but it comes well recommended from a trusted source. From the advert:
A Chapman`s Nautical Guide by Brion Toss.
There are a lot of knot books around, but this is the only one that...
- focuses on those knots, new & old, which are most useful in contemporary life;
- takes the nature of synthetic line into account (many once useful knots just won't work under high loads in slick line); and
- shows knots in ways that are designed to be easy to learn and remember
Give it a look and decide for yourself. The fact that it considers modern, potentially slippery ropes is significant.
