The Complete Rigger's Apprentice

Hey! Just curious if anyone has read this book. Also, in the beginning it mentions buying Nylon twine (36-48), double braided Dacron rope, and three strand spun Dacron rope. I went to my local West Marine and had trouble actually finding this stuff, it's a smaller store so maybe they didn't have it? Can anyone point me in the right direction to find this stuff?

I’ve not read this book but used to do some sailboat rigging, and I would avoid We$t Marine if possible. Personally I used to go to RW Rope because I lived nearby (but they also sell online). I’ve also ordered from knotandrope.com but not for marine stuff.

I’ve found rope.com to almost always have a better selection and better pricing.
