L'Art des Noeuds (The Art of Knots) by Marc P.G. Berthier
Éditions maritimes et d'outre-mer, 1974 ISBN 9782707000194
You must take this title very literally. It’s a look into the sketchbook of an artist who specialises in drawing and writing about nautical subjects. It’s simply a feast for knot tyers eyes; perhaps never intended to teach anything, although you might learn a thing or two.
