From the Authors:
Foundations of Rope Bondage is the ultimate guide to rope bondage that is perfect for curious beginners who are searching for a friendly and fun introduction to this creative and beautiful art form.

Don't know where to start? That's okay! This book introduces readers to rope bondage by explaining the basics of rope itself and details fun ties in clear and easy to understand language. With Lazarus's jargon-free and judgement-free descriptions, as well as step-by-step photographs, he has created a fun and informative introduction to this enticing form of play. One of Lazarus's main concerns is making sure all participants are able to give informed consent and understand everything they need to know before they begin to explore rope bondage; which is why he spends two full chapters detailing the safety and medical considerations. Anyone and everyone who is interested can join in on this intimate and wildly fun adventure! Starting with four fundamental knots, Lazarus builds from core concepts to teach readers how to create a staggering number of rope scenes. With detailed step-by-step instructions and photographs, this book breaks down 16 essential rope bondage techniques into simple concepts that everyone can learn. The essence of all rope bondage is in the fundamentals, and this is what Foundations of Rope Bondage delivers. Once you have mastered the techniques in this book, you will have the foundations on which to build your library of knots and ties. Lazarus uses easy-to-learn beginner knots like the Lark's Head and the Half Hitch to create key ties like the Lark's Head Single Column and Chest & Hip Harnesses. With the basic knots and ties down pat, readers will have everything they need to move on to more advanced knots and ties.

While rope bondage can be an erotic art, this book's purpose is education, not titillation. All of the models are covered in a white suit to make each knot and the steps to creating them easy to see. Combined with Lazarus's classic blue gloves, it makes following each step straightforward. Lazarus's distinct teaching style and phenomenal step-by-step photographs make learning these amazing ties fun and easy.

Foundations of Rope Bondage will set you up for a future of rope-filled adventures.

Comfortable, Quick Drying, but Shipping Creases Were Difficult to Remove
Color: Misty Blue, Size: Large, Color: Misty Blue, Size: Large
This is a nice looking lightweight, long sleeve casual shirt. It is made of primarily polyester with a little spandex. My husband said the shirt fit as expected and was comfortable. He noted the sleeves are a little long on him, which makes me believe it would fit a tall person nicely as my husband is of average height (5‘8“). The shirt arrived in a vacuum pack plastic bag which caused it to have significant wrinkles (see photos). I initially tried tossing it in my dryer on the “rapid refresh“ steam cycle to see if it would remove the wrinkles. The shirt, came out with virtually no change to the wrinkles,. I then tried laundering and drying it to see if that would remove the wrinkles. Again, virtually no change. Finally, I pressed the shirt as per the care label. I mostly pressed it from the wrong side, or, in areas where that wasn’t feasible, I used a press cloth. I ended up using the “silk” setting on my iron because the synthetic setting would not remove the wrinkles. After pressing, the shirt, looks nice. I’ve included the one picture of it after I pressed it. I’m hoping that the shirt, will be as resistant to wrinkling as it was to having the wrinkles removed! Also, I noticed that the shirt seems to be well constructed. I’ve included one photo I took while pressing it from the wrong side that shows how nice the seams look. Pros: Comfortable Fits as expected. Attractive color Quality construction Launders nicely Dries quickly Cons: Shipping wrinkles resistant to removal On the upper end of price range for comparable shirts

Comfortable and stylish
I wanted something to wear in warmer weather that was full length and offered some protection against the sun when working and playing outdoors (I'm a ginger so this is a real problem for or else I turn into a lobster). I had gotten some very nice slacks that I can wear and still look professional, and this shirt complements those very well. This is a nice, loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt that you can wear pretty much anywhere outdoors and is perfect for golf or frisbee or even just corporate picnics. It's not going to overheat you if you wear this in the sun in summertime as it's loose enough that air still flows. It's only SPF 30, so I guess if you need more than that you'll either need lotion or another shirt? It's machine washable and as my pictures show I washed mine and all the wrinkles promptly disappeared, which I though was a hug win. I ordered the size I normally wear (XL) and what the sizing charts suggested and this does fit as expected. The fabric feels a little stretchy, but it's not like a pair of cotton sweatpants or anything, just enough give to allow plenty of comfort while moving around doing normal things. For less than $50 I have a nice, business casual pullover I can wear lots of places and feel dressed up enough to fit in.

Simple and not Drama claim process.
’ve had Asurion coverage for a couple of years and never needed to use it until recently, when my pool salt cell (less than two years old) stopped working. I had purchased it with an Asurion protection plan, so I contacted them to start a claim. The process was simple and straightforward to follow. In the end, they honored the plan and covered the cost of my salt cell based on the value when I originally bought it. They issued me a gift card that I could use on Amazon for that amount. While prices have gone up and a new cell now costs about $200 more, it was still definitely worth having the coverage. Overall, I’m satisfied with how the claim was handled.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss

Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number. Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again. Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned. It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact. At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.
