The Knot Book
by Colin Adams
I recommend this book to anyone learning about mathematical knot theory
for the first time.
It assumes only a general background in mathematics yet contains a great
deal to occupy even the expert.
Also it has chapters on the recent applications of knot theory to
other fields such as physics, chemistry and biology.
Even has knot jokes and pastimes.
Another good introductory book is the one by
Livingston.
