I just purchased this wonderful book. I recommend it to anyone who is in this world of naval modeling. I´ve already seen a post on this forum commenting on the same book. It´s great! REPRINTED: 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2023.
we have a detailed book review in our forum

Ok, I've already seen it. It's a great book for modellers.
If you want additional information on this topic and how to make it happen on your ship models, Bob Hunt at Lauck Street Shipyard had a practicum that goes along with this book that explains how to do these diagrams on your kit. It's a very reasonable price..
There are books with different covers that are internally identical. I also had 2 copies. a hardback and a softback and they were different colors. I kept the hardback and gave the paperback version to a friend that was just starting out and really interested in rigging.There are one or two inaccuracies, however I appear to have liked it enough to manage to buy two copies!?
I´ve got the hardback one.
I tried to buy the companion book from Bob, but they won't ship it overseas.
It would be nice to have...
probably because it's on CD so it is considered a technology item and it's just easier for them to not ship overseas rather than try to figure out where it's allowed. You could always write him and ask.

Book review - Rigging Period Fore-and-Aft-Craft" by Lennart Petersson
In the world of ship modelling, arguably one of the more arduous tasks is rigging of the miniature replicas. There are some old and new books available (see my other reviews), but there is nothing available like these books from Petersson, and these books can be fastly very helpful especially...

Excellent book for reference. I found you have to think ahead 2 or 3 steps when constructing some of the more complex assemblies.
HMS Bounty 1/60, HMS Terror 1/75, HMS Bellona 1/100, HMS Fly 1/64, HMS Warrior 1/100 and Mississippi Paddle steamer 1/50 and have just started HMS Endurance 1/70
