5.0 out of 5 stars Pirates of the Caribbean ~ The Visual Guide, June 12, 2006

By	Pirate2240 (Victorville, CA) - See all my reviews

This book was incredible. I ordered it with the Hardback verion of the Dead Man's Chest storybook. As a die-hard Pirate's fan, its a definite must have. It goes through and tells you how each character got to where they are in the movie.

It offers the little things missing from the movie that would take countless hours to add to the films, such as the details on Jack's sword, How did Jack come to be Pirate of the Black Pearl, just where did he get his "Jack Sparrow" tattoo and loads more! Lots of full color pictures including a poster outlining the layers of the Black Pearl!

It also includes spoilers from the Dead Man's Chest due out this July! Its a great gift for that Pirate in your life that loves movie collectible stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, May 21, 2006

By	bat (Aloha, OR) - See all my reviews

This is a great visual guide for PotC fans! Goes over all aspects of both the first and upcoming 2nd film. Be warned! This *will* spoil "Dead Man's Chest" for you if you read it before seeing the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great POTC Guide, November 9, 2006

By	K. Jones "kjay12" (San Juan Island) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a great purchase if you're a POTC fan. Lots of beautiful, detailed, color photographs paired with interesting info about the first two films that you might not find anywhere else. The book is neatly broken down explaining each character independently as well as each of the places the pirates hang out. There is also a very detailed map of the Black Pearl located in the center of the book and not to mention dozens of great photos of Capt. Jack! A great purchase!
