Not sailing specific, but "On Rope" by Bruce Smith and Allen Padgett was my first real exposure to Knot Tying. I was a member of the National Speleological Society at the time, and also knew Allen from Hang Gliding at Lookout Mountain Flight Park.
Then, my wife bought me The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and Ropework. I love this book. It's not too huge, and covers quite a range of knots and rope techniques.
I also have a PDF version of Ashleys.
Annapolis Sailing School Guide for all ages, but this is a visceral thing mostly. The technical stuff is anchor line length, engine repair, navigation rules etc.
Join the US Coast Guard Auxiliary or take US Power Squadron classes and just get out there.
