Not ony this has about 100 different knots (20 practical ones), it has some knots that you can make as an ornament or good luck charms. It has useful illustrations too. Although I just bought this book a few hours ago on a sale rack in a nearby bookstore, my first impression of this book is pretty good.
This hard cover book also has:
tags that divides different knot sections into:
The world's favorite knots
20 practical knots

useful mutations

I found this directory to be very useful in starting my retail business. I rent retail space in malls as a temporary tenant for holidays throughout the year. I found this a very useful resource for locating malls I want to be in and finding the right person to contact. Also the list of tenants in the masll is very useful so that I will know ahead of time if there will be a conflict with my product line. All in all a good resource for someone in my line of work.

I absolutely loved this book. I am a consultant and I loved every page of it. I am almost through reading it for the second time! Really great book to take with you and keep in your purse or wallet. I cant wait for the next edition!

P.S. This is the most comprehensive directory for consultants you will find anywhere. If you are a consultant, you should be in it.

This book is a wealth of information for any genealogist trying to date a photo taken in Pennsylvania from the years 1839-1900. The information is concise and to the point and literally within minutes I was able to date 2 photographs based on the photographers name stamp to the year 1890. Ries and Ruby have done an excellent job researching photographers from the 18th and 19th century who worked in the state of Pennsylvania. I have previously purchased "Dating Old Photographs 1840-1929" and "Uncovering Your Ancestry through Family Photographs" and this book blows the previous two out of the water!!
