SUMMARY- There isn't much actual tatting in this book in that there is only an illustrated example of making a ring, and it is not explained in the terms used for needlework but in nautical terms. I found it fascinating but probably not worth most needlecrafter's time unless you are also interested in macrame. There are some marvelous braids and knotting designs - I loved a lot of the belt designs. The back of the book advertises their previous book "Encyclopedia of Knots and Fancy Rope Work" which is mentioned in the book as also having tatting references. I'm intrigued enough to hunt down a copy of this book as well just to see a fuller explanation of tatting in nautical terms.
