By Gordon Van Der Spuy

 

SIGNED 1ST EDITION -|- GET YOUR COPY WHILE THEY LAST!

Updated and revised in 2024. The book is a one of a kind, not to be missed experience. It is the direct result of years of personal experience, figuring things out for myself and coming up with a workable system to approaching tying that is logical and simple. What makes it different from anything else you've ever read is that it is not a book about tyings steps but rather a book about ideas. The book is a tying philosophy more than anything else. Colour photographs, colour & b/w illus, 6.65x9.44 inches, 216 pgs.

Book is of nice quality, but saying it's signed is miss leading. The inside cover page has an author statement and signature, but they are printed on. Book is still good, but I thought I was purchasing an actual autographed copy of the book.
