Thirteen different videos are included to make sure your bow tie looks “just right” each and every time you choose to wear one.

Customer Reviews
An Un-bow-lievable book!
Dave Douglas takes a common item ---the bow tie, and not only creates a reference book of tips, tricks, how-tos, and neckwear fashion, but more importantly he offers the reader insight into the motivation behind his daily obsession with his bow tie ritual.
The visual imagery and beautiful colors throughout the book create a positive experience for the reader. Each movie helps those of us less inclined to knowing how to tie a bow tie---believe that we can do it, too!
He also helps us believe in the power of personal commitment and the ability to change. Do yourself a favor, download this book. You won't be disappointed.
