This book doesn't have a lot of text, rather it caught my eye primarily because of its excellent photographs. There are photos of all of the fully-costumed main characters from all three movies (and lots of the minor characters also). And there are nice pictures of many of the props (ships, chests, swords, pistols, jewelry, Jack's compass, etc.). A very helpful guide for those fans interested in reproducing the costumes for parties and conventions.

My kids have found this to be a great reference tool as they write stories or make their own "Pirates of the Caribbean" story tapes. The pictures are great too.
