Best Climbing Ropes & Knots for Outdoor Adventures - Durable Rock Climbing Gear for Hiking, Camping & Mountaineering

This is a great little book. There is a page for every knot used in climbing, complete with diagrams for how to tie the knots, and instructions about their best (and worst) uses. The book even includes knots that should never be used in climbing, so that you can recognize what to avoid. It tells you how to improvise a harness if the need arises, how to tie off a damaged section of rope, and when to use a Prussik vs a Klemheist. The diagrams are easy to follow, and the explanations are clear and helpful. Every climber should get this book. This should not be your only guide to climbing outdoors, though, since it does not give much information about self-rescue or how and where to set anchors. It's really just about knots.
