Query: A great reference book to have around the house

"Knots Around the Home" is a very easy to follow reference for tieing knots. It gives very clear instructions, and best of all, provides practicle examples on how and when to use the various knots -- a uninque feature that I have failed to find in other books about knots. For the first time I have found a book that tells me how to tie a tire swing, tie down a tarp, tie down a trunk, tie a load on top of a car, etc.This is not a book for a person wanting a knot encyclopedia. It only gives a handful of knots, but the knots are VERY practicle, as the title suggests, and covers most the jobs average people do.The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is that it's coverage is limited, and it has very primitive illustrations -- but illustrations that are easy to follow. Overall, however, it is my favorite practical book.
