I have a bunch of book pdfs saved that I’ll probably never read, just in case…

I took a look at that Knots and Physics book. It looks amazing.

But here it is: http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~kauffman/KNOTS.pdf

Kauffman’s book “On Knots”, which is a very unusual and eccentric book, well worth reading, or at least browsing. It is full of all sorts of stuff, mostly about knots.

Kauffman’s web page at http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~kauffman/ has a lot of other interesting-looking stuff.
