Knots and Splices
For almost 60 years Cyrus Day's Knots Splices has been an indispensable guide for anyone in need of a quick bend or hitch. This revised edition includes step-by-step colour photography to accompany Day's concise directions, which is certainly a bonus for the less technically minded among us. This shows itself most noticeably in the hitching and splicing sections, where more complex weaves have colour-coded lines, allowing you to follow one plait from beginning to end. Along with editor Colin Jarman's clear indexation and a helpful glossary, this title is perfect for experts, beginners, or anyone in between. If you like authors such as Sylvia Day and E.L. James, you'll love Cyrus Day's Knot's Splices. Reviewed by 54BD
