"Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes" is a basic shibari or Japanese rope bondage how-to guide that is wonderful! Its diagrams are well done, the wording is amazing, and it is very informative. It is broken up into five sections
The Knots
This is all of your basic knots.
Basic Bondage
A guide to basic rope bondage.
Decorative Bondage
How to use the knots in a decorative application.
Dominance Bondage
How to use the rope as a domination tool.
Sex Bondage
And how to apply it in a sexy way.
Plus an introduction.
The book isn't discreet at all. So, if you are in the closet about your kinky side, I wouldn't leave this sitting out on your coffee table; there is no way you can shrug it off or try to say it's a 'boy scout manual for knots'. It is a well comprised book and was one of my first introductions to rope bondage. I really would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a hands-on way to learn the knots. Granted book learning isn't for everyone, but in addition to the book (published in 2006), Two Knotty Boys have a website with a bunch of videos on how to tie the basic knots as well (super helpful!!). The book is about 10" x 8" and fits on a standard bookshelf pretty easily. It is a paper back so care should be given as to not get it all beaten up.
Over all this is a great book, very informative, great pictures, and even has a follow up called "Two Knotty Boys back on the Ropes" although I'm not sure that Eden is currently carrying that one. This book is totally worth the money and more. I love it and have actually bought copies for a few friends.

Thank you for viewing Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes – erotic book review page!
HA! too cute!
I love the front cover. Thanks for the review.
I like your title. However, the formatting for the list of the five sections was rather confusing. Did you consider using numbers and/or dashes? For example:
1. The Knots -- This is all of your basic knots
2. Basic Bondage -- A guide to basic rope bondage
etc...
Did you try any knots? , Im sure mine would look like a 3rd grader did them.
@Ivy Wilde - Thank you for the suggestion I will work on getting that corrected, your right the current format is a bit confusing.
@Dr and Mrs - I did try some of the knots and to start with it look terrible! lol but after I got the hang of it they started to look awesome.
