5.0 out of 5 stars
A very good introduction to decorative knots.,
By Jesse H. Coleman (Tuscumbia, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of Decorative Knots (Paperback)
Much of the material in this book has not been published in over 50 years. A modern treatment and updating was needed and Budworth has done a good job. This book has good sections on globe knots, Turks Head Knots and mats. The early chapter on Tips, Techniques and Terms is good. I know of no other publication of globe knots since Ashley in the 40s. New developments are still being made in Turks Head Knots and globe knots. The book is already out of date.This book is a good addition to the library of any serious knot lover. It sits next to my copy of Ashley's classic.

A good intermediate knot tyers book,
By "eyehort" (Stony Plain, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of Decorative Knots (Paperback)
This is a enjoyable book with many usefull knots and good information on applying many of them.There are many errors in the line drawn instructional drawings which could create alot of headaches for someone without somewhat of a knotting background.Personally I found the globe knot sections drawings a little confusing but workable.Of the many of already familiar knots I found interesting and better ways of tying them by using this book. Just that aspect and the icicle hitch to show your friends is well worth it.All in all this authors books are good reading, nothing overly complex, but a good addition to have in a knotting book collection.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not much on knots,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Book of Decorative Knots (Paperback)
The book has some neat knots but not very much for the begginer. The section on globe knots doesn't tell how to work the sphere into the center and a few diagrams are wrong (pg 141 step one-two). Bud ford mentions the Ashley Book of knots way to much. Mabe you would be better of with that book than his
