"This book contains over 150 knots and splices which are illustrated in full color throughout, accompanied by step-by-step instructions. Different colors are used to clarify how the knot is actually constructed. Colored tabs on the page indicate which activities the knot can be applied to in such areas as boating and sailing, house and garden, outdoor pursuits, caving and climbing, and crafts."--
