Knot tying book suggestions

[ddrinik]

After reading Mike’s “Best knot of all time?” thread it got me thinking about teaching my boys how to tie knots. As I’m not expert, I can fumble my way through tying a “knot.” I’m probably not tying the best knot for a given job, but most times it get the job done. Can anyone make a recommendation on a good illustrated, step-by-step knot tying book?

Not only will it provide the boys with a useful skill, but it will also give them an activity to work on while camping.

Get them a Boy Scout Handbook. Even if they are not in scouts there is so much stuff in there for them to do and a whole section just for knots.
