NOTE ON THE CORRECTED EDITION

Clifford Warren Ashley died just three years after the publication in 1944 of Te Ashly Bok

of Kos. He did not live to see it become the bible of dedicated knot tyers, with a worldwide

�eneral readership.

o it has been the keen users of this monumental book who have over the years reported

errors, inconsistencies, and omissions in the text and drawings, which Ashley would in time no

doubt have spotted and corrected himself.

"A knot ... is either exactly right or it is hopelessly wrong," he wrote. "Make only one change

... and either an entirely different knot is made or no knot at all may result."

This "corrected" edition has been prepared by members of The Intenational Guild of Knot

Tyers.
