Roly “Sailing rigs and spars” by Matthew Sheahan is one I know of.

I once saw one called "A Rigger's Apprentice". I looked through it and it appeared to be quite thorough in explaining spar sizes and rigging tensions. I kind of wish I had bought it. Books like that have a very limited market, so don't stay in print long.

I think your talking about" The Complete Rigger's Apprentice" by Brion Toss.
It is a great book and easy to understand for a new sailior.

The book includes "The Rigger's Apprentice" and "The Rigger's Locker". So you were probably correct Sharpii2, sorry.
