Braiding Books

[KnotHead]

At the time I got those damn books, I did not know anyone in braiding. I was disappointed in the books myself. But I have a learning curve in all 3 zones. GH does do things the hard way in those books I have. In my opinion the cost is too much for the material. The books do not teach the fundamentals of turks head(casa knots), which is why I highly recommend Introduction to Turks Heads by Tom Hall. In his book you will learn how to make a turks head of any length and bights. He also teaches in his book the different types of interweaves, mainly focusing on the pineapple interweaves. That book alone is one of the most valuable assets that you can have in your library as a braider. The illustrations are very easy to follow. Tom Hall takes the common sense approach to tying and braiding and explains things pretty clearly. Me, as an advanced braider would recommend this book for beginners to even the professional level braider. I still use this book today as reference. It has been an invaluable resource within my library.

hey all i have been looking at braiding books on line and without being able to see the content am having a difficult time deciding on my next purchase. i have all three of bruce grants books and can do all the knots and braids in his encyclopedia. would like opinions on what would be a good purchase to further my skills. i would love to be able to just take some instruction from a master braider but that is not an option right now. so if anybody has suggestions or critiques of the available books id love to hear them. thanks
