Product Description

To live the pirate life, it's important to keep to the code (of course real pirates know to treat these rules more like guidelines, anyway.) Contained in this authentic handbook is the Pirate Code, as originally devised by the Brethren Court of pirate lords. Also included are topics detailing everything aspiring buccaneers need to know in order to command the respect of fellow scalawags and pursue their hearts' deepest desires. The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy of films has created a rich mythology from which to draw the following pearls of wisdom:

          How to Swagger
          Captain Jack Sparrow on Honesty
          What to do When your Compass doesn't Work
          How to Lift an Aztec Curse
          How to Play Liar's Dice
          Elizabeth Swann's Additional Uses for a Wedding Dress
          How to bead your Hair and Beard
          Will Turner's Sword-fighting Tips
          Identifying the Parts of a Ship
          Pirate-to-English Dictionary
          How to ward off the Black Spot 

These indispensable tips will prove useful at sea or in port. Filled with the salty humor and lush dialogue from the incredibly popular movie trilogy, The Pirates of the Caribbean Guidelines provides instructional and humorous information-practical and nautical-accompanied by captivating full-color images of everyone's favorite pirates.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Pirates fans, July 17, 2007

By	C. Barry - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Can't get enough of the Pirates films? This book is a must for your shelf. It's an entertaining read, and an easy one at that. If you're into the characters from this trilogy of films, then you'll enjoy this book. It stays true to the personalities of all of the characters, and sheds some light on the many intertwining stories. Not to mention, clearing up some pirate lingo. Worth the purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a fast read but a fun venture, November 8, 2007

By	Jill S. (McKinney, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Fanciful technical details provided by Master Gibbs provide a chance to unwind and savor the humor of the alternate reality created by Depp and crew in the POTC sagas. In addition to the "rules" regarding things piratey, we see letters from Elizabeth Swann and various side comments regarding characters and circumstances familiar to fans. A fun addition to even a modest POTC fan's collection.

By	Russell C. Dabbs "sergeant63128" (St. Louis, Mo. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A fun and interesting introduction to various aspects of pirates and in general, life aboard a sailing ship during the "Golden Age Of Pirates".
Also a nice explanation and highlighting of various parts of the Disney Movies "Pirates of The Caribbean".
