Sometimes a person collects, organizes, and delivers information in such a way that the exhaustive knowledge is clearly explained along with its background culture and history. The Ashley Book of Knots (or ABOK for short) is such a treatise. It is rare that a book as old as my parents continues to reign as the standard reference. We academics should learn humility from a work of this scope.
