Geoffrey Budworth's "The Complete Guide To Knots And Knot Tying"...

The knot tying illustrations in Mr. Budworth's book: "The Complete
Guide To Knots And Knot Tying", seem to me to be from the perspective
of a left-handed person. Any other opinions?

His "The Complete Book of Knots" is exactly the same. I blame the printers
who maybe reversed some of the photos during the printing process. That's
why the books can now be found in the "remaindered" bin in places like
garden centres.

When trying to master some complex knots in the past, I have scanned the
page, flipped it using any graphics program, and then printed it out. At
least the photos are the right way round then, but I still need to read the
instructions from the book because of course the text also gets reversed.

Not an ideal solution but it works for me.


Thanks for your response. I thought I might be alone in my opinion.
I do hope Mr. Budworth was compensated by whomever made the mistake.
