Synopsis

The world's bestselling book on knots. A classic resource. Illustrated, easy to use, and definitive.

A full-color guide to mastering seventy useful knots for generations of sailors, fisherman, campers, climbers, homeowners, and all lovers of the outdoors.

The Morrow Guide to Knots includes clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions that teach you how to tie dozens of knots, from the swivel hitch and grapevine knot to the knotted sheepshank, the Spanish bowline, and the stopper knot. Each photo captures the way you see the knot as you make it. And when two or more ropes are involved, they are color coded to help you clearly tell them apart.

Filled with more than 600 photographs, this convenient, compact guide also includes a section on decorative knots, a cross-reference list of the many applications of knots, and a detailed glossary.
