Very clearly created by someone who cares about you, and wants to make sure you have everything you need to be successful. I was really impressed with so many things! The pictures are clear and there are many of them so you can see each small step. There is a TON of info about all the essential steps before tying including how to meet with and safely interact with a partner. I loved the highly detailed section on safety and all the different ways that rope can be dangerous if done poorly, what warning signs to look for, what areas of the body have nerves that can be easily damaged, and so on. It was a little disappointing (at first) that so much of the book is devoted to topics that are not tying tutorials, but I'm really glad for the extra info and all the little details I was not considering. There is also a great section near the end with inspiration on how to combine the various core techniques into more elaborate ties and positions. Highly recommended.
