I disagree!

For learning knots for Cub Scouts I recommend “Knots and how to tie them” by Boy Scouts of America. It is a white booklet with 31 pages and covers all the Boy Scout required knots and then some. I think is cost about $5.00 at the Boy Scout Store. It is a waste of time, money, and effort to study the large knot books. If you are into mountain climbing or sailing that is a different issue.
