Possibly.

In the end I bought this:

I did learn a load of special knots for fishing and fly-tying from my grandfather and also a load from an old guy in the boat club when I was learning to sail. I wanted a simple reference for research rather than actual use, or I'd have bought the more expensive famous one.

The famous book of Knots is on Amazon as 1993 hardback, paperback and as Kindle:
