Popis: We describe which knots can be obtained as cycles in the canonical book representation of K_n, the complete graph on n vertices. We show that the canonical book representation of K_n contains a Hamiltonian cycle that is a composite knot if and only if n>11 and we show that when p and q are relatively prime, the (p,q) torus knot is a Hamiltonian cycle in the canonical book representation of K_{2p+q}. Finally, we list the number and type of all non-trivial knots that occur as cycles in the canonical book representation of K_n for n
