## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great beginners book and an interesting read.
  

*by T***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2014*

Some other reviews have been less than charitable about this book. I disagree. This book was not published to be a comprehensive 'Bible' on fancy work. It's author's intention was to inform the beginner, in an entertaining manner, about some of the items that would have been made by the old sailors and to give them clear and easy to follow instructions on how to make some of them. It performs this function admirably. It is engagingly written, beautifully illustrated and personally I have found the pictures and text perfectly adequate to make many of the items within. If you are starting out making fancy work my advice would be to start with this book then go for something more meaty, such as Des Pawson's books which contain many more projects but that perhaps need the gentle introduction that The Marlinspike Sailor provides to get you going. Great for armchair sailors too! It is a pleasant and entertaining read and having been published in quite a large format, it will be useful for those with less than perfect eyesight as the illustrations are large and the text very clear. Well worth the small amount of money that it retails at.

    Not the be all and end all but well worth having
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2019*

This book is very much of its time and to get the best from its contents it's probably advisable to buy an introductory book on knots and ropecraft beforehand; Stewart Grainger's books would be an excellent complement.  Very readable and informative. The section on splicing is especially good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very satisfied
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2016*

Fair condition (just as advertised), fast and low cost delivery, very good value. The book is very well written with a lot of good advice and easy to follow instructions specially for a classic boat owner.
