This is a really great book for people who want to know more about knot tying. Especially if you go fishing and need a sturdier knot to hold that hook of for the wining catch.:-)

I just have the book, not the box. It's an excellent selection of knots, and the diagrams are clear. I wish the author had been more generous with supporting information (such as the advantages and disadvantages of each knot).
