I think this book is okay. If you are into rope art and are a beginner, I would recommend The Two Knotty Boys, Showing You The Ropes. This book breaks down the different knots and such, also, more detailed photos, in my opinion.

My favorite beginner's ropework book. Down-to-earth, funny, and clear; a warm introduction to what can be an intimidating subject.
As a bonus, the models in the photos are cute without looking like models; they are just normal folks having a good time. Glamour shots of Beautiful People in complex bondage (coughMidoricough) are great eye-candy, but when it comes to translating those pictures at home (or wherever), I find something with a more conversational/ approachable tone to be more effective.

I'm a photographer, and also a web designer and publisher. I was called on by a friend to shoot stills for one of his foot [...]. videos and was told that his main model wanted to do a bondage theme.
Right.
Keep in mind that all parties involved have SEEN bondage work, but have never actually DONE any...
So, being the industrious person tha I am, and also wanting to get the best shots possible, I thought, 'Hey, why not learn to do some tying for the shoot?' This was on a Monday, the shoot was to be that Saturday. So, thanks to Amazon Prime (which screwed up and delivered my book a day later than promised...) I had the book in time for the shoot.
As schedules go, I was unable to practice any tying until about an hour before the shoot. So, as my model was getting her makeup done, I was practicing on her. Before finishing, my videographer and his model showed up and liked what they saw. As things went, I later applied the same tie to both models and it worked out great. I had to use the book as a guide during the shoot, and it was pretty easy to follow.
Now what I need is more rope and more time.
If you're thinking of indulging your bondage urges, buy this book.
In fact, just buy it anyway. It's well-written and helped me in a pinch. I'm confident that, given more time, I'll be able to use this book to even greater success.
Cheers,
Wordman

I like "Two Knotty Boys" better. This has some beautiful designs, but some of the pictures are a little difficult to follow. There are alot of variations on chest harnesses in this book. It's a good addition to my growing collection of rope bondage books though.

If you ever are stranded on a desert island, and you happen to have a bunch of rope, and a very lucky partner, this would be the only book you would need!!!
This book is a perfect blend of, solid foundation education, and elegant, intimate art-form.
The pictures are crisp, detailed and easy to understand and the author is extremely knowledgeable and takes you through the various names in japanese which is where the art form originates from. What i liked was that the author really made it fun and easy to understand.
This was a perfect beginners book, from learning the type of rope to use, to care, maintenance and safety, and then the basics...all the way up to very beautiful and intricate multi color rope corsets. yum.
