Book Reviews of The Marlinspike Sailor
Book Review: What the what???
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a book for experts. But why would an expert need instructions. I would have loved to be able to have learned so many of these knots and projects, but there is simply not enough instruction for a beginner. Nice illustrations, sure. Maybe for collectors???Book Review: The Marlinespike Sailor Blues
Summary: 2 Stars
It was an alright book with some history to back up the use or origin of the knots, etc. I had hoped for something more unique and practical but that was not to be. It was a bit of a rehash from other books.Book Review: The Marlinspike Sailor
Summary: 1 Stars
The name implies the art of marlin spike ropework, it has some interesting history (as they all do) but lacks with any of the detailed drawings or photos necessary for most people to follow the nuances of certain knots. The cover promises so many beautiful creations but the instructions are fast and vague as to render most items worthless to even follow. It was a waste of my money.
