He describes each step simply and clearly in the text and has penned right alongside some 7000 drawings to make it still more graphic.

Reviews'' The Ashley Book of Knots' is regarded as the Bible of knot-tyers.... But "The Ashley Book" is no nostalgia trip. It's too punchy -- too cheerful and too well-written. Like the best cookbooks or collections of movie reviews, it's a great dip-in read: Sit down at the breakfast table, flip the book open to any page, and you'll find an appetizing morsel to gnaw on." -- The New York Times
