A 190 page book detailing ties, scarves, fabrics, cravats, and suchlike, with plenty of photographs, descriptions, and examples of ‘Extravagant and bizarre neckwear’. One example of the latter: the Empress. “Those with long flowing locks are often at a loss as to what to do with all that hair which could get in the way. A grand solution could be to make plaits and knot them as if they were a tie”! Another: the Monster. “This giant–sized knot will surely leave everybody aghast.”

Most of the book, however, details knots for ties and bow ties, with the front and back inner covers detailing how to tie the knots.
