Jay does a fantastic job of doing what he says in the title and provides well formulated and thorough information in a reference style format. There are sections on safety information (which is very accurate~ I've worked in the medical field for 8 years), ropes, knots, emotional and physical effects of bondage, bondage methods, and much more. I love that he gives you basic step by step knots to "do the job" and reassures those of us who aren't boy scouts that extensive knotting skills are not required for BDSM. He even goes another step and recommends other books for further reading if you're looking for an addition to his handbook. His education shines through here and I'm excited about reading his other works on the subject. Thank you Jay!!

Good instructions with OK graphics. There are a lot of good ideas and fun things to try for both male and female. Not definitive on the subject, but a great addition to the library.

I'd recommend this book as a good reference book, but the pictures are useless and impossible to follow. I sat around with a friend trying to decipher and follow the visuals + text (and neither of us were total beginners) and it was VERY difficult. I'd recommend getting the book because jay does know his stuff and u should totally have a thorough knowledge about bondage before u go out there and potentially hurt someone (and I've been hurt by inexperienced people) but get another book to complement the written material in this one. or look online for visual tutorials for the ties, but read this for the background + safety.

I have this book... on my wishlist. Based upon everyone's disappointment of lack of illustrations, I recommend a more comprehensive book to accompany this - The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots & Ropework. Much of what is illustrated in this book is completely applicable for any level bondage enthusiast and should fill in Wiseman's erroneous omissions.

This book was not very good if you are a visual person to learn how to do bondage like I am. It had a lot of information maybe ten hand drawings in the book. the book is full of ideas but trying to discern them by no pictures is very hard to do. I found another book to be better for me.The book is well written dont get me wrong but no pictures.
