Rope a dope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a excellent book and gives the beginner some pretty high goals to reach. I wish there were a little more detail showing actual step by step action required for each level of completion. However a good imagination does help in the learning process. Maybe with time and practice this old dope may learn to get off the ropes. Wish me luck. I liked this book and recommend it to anyone who thinks they can't be creative. Or if you just like the "challenge" then this is the "test". Stanley Alves.

Great instuctional book. Fairly easy reading and the best Illustrations since The Ashley book of Knots. The only downside is the "Practical Projects" section. Fairly simple stuff.
