I grabbed this as research for a character in one of my books and was pleasantly surprised at the readability and easy to follow instructions. Beyond just telling about how to tie the knots and their best uses for events and for types of collars there was plenty of fun info tucked in. It went so much deeper than I expected and it was interesting to learn about all that can go in to selecting and tying ties! I do wish there had maybe been more images, but that's a minor nitpick.
