Handbook of Knot Theory
William Menasco

Elsevier Science, 2005

This book is a survey of current topics in the mathematical theory of knots. For a mathematician, a knot is a closed loop in 3-dimensional space: imagine knotting an extension cord and then closing it up by inserting its plug into its outlet. Knot theory is of central importance in pure and applied mathematics, as it stands at a crossroads of topology, combinatorics, algebra, mathematical physics and biochemistry. ...

With this book you won't need any others
I tie knots for fun and for use when I'm backpacking. I own several knot-tying books and have borrowed several others -- I bought this when I got tired of checking it out from the library. It is far and away the best book on knots that I've read. The pictures are beautiful and instructive, and the historical notes put the knots in perspective. Best of all, Budworth includes an amazing array ...

BEST Knot book ever!!
My boyfriend checked this out from the library (to learn knots for his sailboat ropes) and loved it so much that I got him his own copy :-) He says it is the best knot book ever made! The photos are amazing and super easy to understand, and this book is so useful! It shows ALL types of knots and even shows how to make a net (using a bunch of knots). **This book also came JUST in time for our ...

Practical Knots
Thus is an honest book that is exactly what it claims to be in the title. Practical knots. It is not a book of fancy decorative macrame knots for the bored housewife, nor is it a book of knots so complex that no one remembers how to tie them, or to fancy up a bell rope. But what it is, is a lot of information for people who have a need for knots in practical use. It should be a Bible for ...

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 ...

This book paid for itself
I'm not a knot expert, nor do I play one on TV, but I found this book useful and interesting enough to buy two copies. I found the first one at my local independent bookstore and bought it for my nephew's birthday present. Once I had it at home I considered giving him one of my other 6 knot books and keeping this one for myself because I found the pictures much clearer than the other books on ...

Perfect little reference
I'm a professional boat captain, and I have to tie knots all the time. I have looked for the perfect knot book for years, and I think this comes pretty close. The diagrams are some of the best I've ever seen explaining how to tie a knot, and there are more knots covered in this book than you will ever need. Good strong binding and thick covers means it will hold up to years of use. Excellent ...

"Challenging Knots"
I am a big fan of Budworth's knot books and when I saw a title of "Challenging Knots", I ordered it before it was released. The book is well put together, with gorgeous illustrations. Unfortunately, I've seen most of them before! It seems that this book is just "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and Ropework" on the SlimFast plan. The illustrations and text are nearly identical, though ...
