I can still remember as a teenager having to bend down and re-tie my shoes multiple times a day, and then in my early 20s I received Ian's hardbound book[1] as a gift, learned this knot, and just like that, I simply never had to do that again. What a gift of time!

As it hasn't been mentioned yet, I thought I'd point out Ian's book "Laces"[1]. I bought it for a friend of mine who collects sneakers and ended up re-lacing most of my shoes before giving the book to him.
>"Laces" comes with color-coded laces that match the lacing diagrams, and has an "interactive" front cover that can be used as a practice shoe. The pages are filled with trendy looking shoes laced in amazing patterns.
Out of print, but worth it if you can get hold of a copy![2]
