The Complete Rigger's Apprentice: Tools and Techniques for Modern and Traditional Rigging
Though there is much valuable information in this book, I found Toss's explanations of how to tie knots and do splices--especially splices--difficult to follow, at best. Sometimes his explanations (especially of splicing braided ropes), coupled with confusing illustrations, were unfathomable. At the same time, I highly recommend his DVDs on the same subject. He does an excellent job of demonstrating in person and explaining verbally how to splice.

If you want to simply understand how and your boat is rigged the way it is or you are doing your own work this is the book with which you must start,and probably, finish.

There's no reason not to buy this book, but a lot of them to buy it. Especially if you are into sailing and/or building boats.
Goes good with "Sailmakers's apprentice".
So buy them both. Why not?
