The best guide out there is the Falcon book "Knots for Climbers" You can get it from most bookstores like Barnes & Noble, etc. Your local climbing shop should have it also... If not, you can always find it online.

Heres a good information source. For knots click on the word KNOTS on the left of the page.

Two other good sources are "Knots and Ropes for Climbers" by Duane Raleigh and "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and Ropework" by Geoffrey Budworth. You should be able to find them on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

I would also suggest that you have someone at the local gym show you how to tie some knots, so that you can see a 3d perspective. They may be reluctant though, due to liability issues.

Check out the
Knot Dictionary for a good listing of basic climbing knots with drawings.
