ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
When Two Knotty Boys, J.D. and Dan, began teaching rope
bondage together in 1999, they discovered that most people learn best when
they're shown -- close up, step by step, and repeatedly -- how to tie basic
knots and combine them into bondage techniques. It is this learning process
that they duplicate in this book. With the help of world-renowned
photographer Larry Utley, they use over 750 photos and captions to
explicate the soup-to-nuts techniques for turning great knots into great
bondage that is safe, sensual, attractive, and effective. Readers can learn
at their own pace, review whole techniques at a single glance, or even lay
it flat on the table (beside their blindfolded partner) and follow along as
they tie. Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes appeals to those interested
in improving the quality of their sex lives, not to mention aficionados of
bondage and discipline/sadomasochism (BDSM), both curious newcomers and
serious players alike.

USER REVIEWS
"The book is a great way to introduce you and/or partner into the rope bondage scene, It is very clearly laid out, with easy to follow step-by-step instructions on how to tie, and just as important, how to release the knots. The book is divided into several sections, firstly giving some useful hints and tips on the different types of rope out there and the pros and cons of each; this is followed by a guide to doing the do's and don'ts within rope bondage, including safety (very important); the basic knots are then covered; and finally sections on different applications of the specialist knots/positions e.g. dominance bondage or sexual use of knots & positions.
The book is written with a cheeky and fun sense of humour, and is not at all cliquey in its approach to rope bondage. It does mention that the styles shown in the book are not purely from the art of shibari (Japanese rope bondage): there are some western influences too.
It even has a recommended further reading list, should you wish to delve a little deeper into the scene, or learn more about the particulars.
And should you ever have chance to contact the Two Knotty Boys in real life or via myspace, you'll find that they really are down-to-earth friendly guys that are only too happy to help with queries."

"This is the one to go for. A very easy to read and informative book, the step by step descriptions and photos make it a breeze to follow and the designs are truely stunning! Perfect as a companion to other more wordy books on the subject, and, after reading this book is just a few steps and your imagination away from creating unique designs of your own. "

"The bondage in this book is very American-style. Plenty of, "let's try to make this look more interesting by putting in double coin knots everywhere."
The explanations and the pictures are easy to understand. I learned a few things here like the dragonfly sleeve, but most of the info you can find online.
Given the choice between this and Midori's book, I'd choose Midori's. Midori's content is far more useful. She teaches principles that can be applied and adapted in every situation.
However, given the choice between Two Knotty Boys and anything by Jay Wiseman, I'd buy every copy of anything by Jay Wiseman and burn it! Then I'd buy this one.
I don't know why people rave about Jay Wiseman. His books are awful. Seriously - if you're choosing between this and anything by Jay Wiseman, then definitely choose Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes.

"Always looking for new inspiration into BDSM play, I often looks at books, nd buy too many of them. Buying large books with few techniques seems to bemy way. two Knotty boys differs a lot. They deliver exciting new technique for the advanced player, step by step for the newcomer and everybody just love their inspiration, a great tnx for an excellent book."
