Knot Book available online.

I came across this site the other day and found that you can download
a copy of

A PRACTICAL TREATISE

I printed out a copy for a guy in the coast guard it's pretty neat to
find an internet site actually providing good information and reading
to the public.

You can still get this book in hardback from David Goodchild at Toad
Hall Press I have a copy and it looks great on the bookcase with my
other knot books.

Also this is one of the few projects that I have actually sent in a
few dollars to help sup****t.

There's other books available on lots of topics with a nautical
conection I'm reading one of Daniel Defoe's books right now.
