THE book on beginning Japanese Bondage (also called Shibari). These ties are both pretty and functional and each section starts with a wonderful, artistic color photograph of the completed tie.

A great book for both functional ties and decorative ties like rope corsets. Amongst other things, it has a method of tying rope corsets that keeps them from "collapsing" (keeps rope properly aligned instead of overlapping during wear).

Not an instructional book, but if you already have some knowledge of Japanese Bondage and you're looking for ideas to use on a man, you'll appreciate this book. Especially since instructions and pictures from other sources generally lean towards female rather than male bondage.
