That one is the holy grail of ropeworking books. I have yet to get my hands on it so I have never seen it but everyone serious about the hobby loves it.

That is the creative ropecraft. The illustrations can be a bit difficult but its a great beginner book.

This is one of Des Pawson's books. I borrowed it from a friend once, tons of info. I had to give it back though. ><

This is a nice cheap book too, I have never seen it myself but it is one that is recommended a lot on various youtube ropecraft channels.
Seaman ship in the age of sail is a good one.
