Folks
I came across this book at my library. Needless to say I read it straight through. To my eternal consternation, I discovered that the saying “nothing is new under the sun” is more true than we had thought.

Hop over to the Toolemera Blog for a short review of one ground breaking book. No pun intended and no slights meant to the archaelogists amongst us. And don’t forget to come back to the Knots Forum when you’re done (selfless plug)

Glad you found and enjoyed the book Gary. Garrett Hack took a look at it earlier in the year and posted a review of it on our Web site as well: http://blogs.taunton.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?nav=main&webtag=fw-editorsblog&entry=162

Thanks for the note. The more attention we give to our craft, the greater it will grow. Even if the Romans had a head start on us. I realize that I need to put a link to the Knots Community blogs too.Best
