The holy grail of knot books Ashley Book of Knots, ABOK, is now in the public domain. This mighty tome is one hefty volume and one sizeable download even in pdf format. It's more than just a knot book however, with all sorts of boat based and occupational uses for cordage. Saw this mentioned on Hammock Forums and wanted to share here.
