Even though this book is written for cavers there is a lot of good information for anyone who works on rope.

Can't beat the price either

That`s interesting.
I previously asked what rope is best suited for wear resistance when using mechanical ascenders and was told kernmantle yet their article says kernmantle is very susceptable to wear.
 
Chapter 2, ROPE
page 14 at the top.
They were speaking of the inner core so perhaps I`ve taken it out of context.

I would imagine the core of any rope is susceptable to abrasion.
