I think this might be my favorite kind of nonfiction book. Truly the Bible of knots.

For years I have looked for a list of "Bibles" of their respective subjects, but have never found anything quite right.

Chapman's Piloting & Seamanship is another example that comes to mind.

It reminds me of the 501 Mechanical Movements type books, which are endlessly fascinating to me.
