Any performer looking into starting to work with ropes should give this text a look. 68 pages of material and lots of different routine styles. I'm not much of a rope guy myself, but I was impressed by the depth of this little book. This book was first produced in 1957, so some of the instruction is older, but it still makes perfect sense.
