Something for Steven to wear with his top hat :)

I got this book to give to my husband. He has been interested in making fun knots when a suit wearing occasion comes up. I thought this would be a fun book to have around.

Starting on the outside. This book has a neat fabric cover. The back information is all on a sticker. I removed the sticker as soon as I got the book because once I opened the book the sticker got a huge crease in it and looked terrible. This does not affect the book.

The book is mostly about how to tie various knots. It has a little information about matching colors and different types of collars and coats.

The book has nice big pictures of each step in the directions for a bunch of knots. The pictures are of just the tie, not on a person. I am told that this is normal.

I gave him the book and asked him to try it out. The directions were good, and he managed to make several knots with no issues. He was able to tie a bow tie, which he has previously had trouble with before. His biggest issue with it was keeping it open while trying to tie his tie. A binding that could open flat would have been better for this book.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
