The Petersson books are great even if you have an "Anatomy of the Ship" as well. The later may indicate all the lines but while showing termination at a cleat, belay pin or bollard to tie off too, it does not always show the starting point; there's two ends to a rope. This is where Petersson's books help fill in the gaps.
EXACTLY! What Petersson does with 18th century rigging with a simple picture takes one paragraph or even a page or two of text in R.C.
