Recensioner i media

"This slimline, ring-bound, waterproof book very clearly illustrates the most-used knots, in full colour." (Sailing For South Africa, March 2007) "There are lots of knot books around, but the fact you can hang this on a hook and it’s splash-proof makes it great to have on board." (Boat Mart, August 2007)
