[edit] Duplicate knots

Is that right about duplicate knots? I haven't read my copy cover to cover, but I thought that each entry was original. --Blackcap | talk 03:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Yep, just added an example of it to the article. --Dfred 03:53, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Deadly, thanks. Nice work on the article! Snoutwood (talk) 07:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. While doing some research before rewriting Constrictor knot I found eleven occurances of it in ABOK, and there may actually be more.

There are numerous examples. Sometimes it is an alternate way to tie the same knot. Sometimes it is an alternative use for a knot tied the same way (ie. Rolling Hitch 12 entries in the index or Overhand with 19 unqualifed index entries and 4 additional ways to tie, probably the champ) Ccalvin

The 'Further Reading' gives the publisher as Faber & Faber. My edition is Doubleday. Should both be listed? Same ISBN. Ccalvin 20:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
