Thanks for replies but I do not know the author and the link is not the correct book.

It is a 2 volume set reprinted in a limited edition of 250 direct from publisher. I believe the price is around £300

The book covers all elements of ship building and sail rigging etc and was original published in 19th century.

How about:

Elements and Practice of Rigging and Seamanship

This is a 2 volume set written by David Steel and published originally in 1794.

Cheers,
