''Practical Knots and Splices'' by Kenneth E. Cahoon, Master Mariner. Published by the United States Naval Institute: Anapolis: 1942. This 69pp. collection of diagrams and instructions contains a different rope tying technique on every page, and would have been the go-to manual for sailors in WWII. Measures 5.75'' x 8.75''. Bound in soft black cloth boards. Very good.
