The Pirates' Guidelines

by Joshamee Gibbs and Oindrila Mukherjee

Book Overview

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...

Customer Reviews

Fun little book with advice from Jack Sparrow and factual points of nautical interest.

Ideally for younger readers, but still enjoyable.

So Entertaining

I absolutely love books like this. This is written as if by Joshamee Gibbs - Jack Sparrow's blundering first mate. It's got a lot of "handwritten" notes by Gibbs that contradict what the Code says to do. It's an excellent companion piece to any POTC fan. I thoroughly enjoyed flipping through it the last time I watched the films.

Excellent Pirate Companion Book

How can anyone not rate this book 5 stars. The book is based on the premise that Mr. Gibbs wrote down the pirate code since he was always explaining it on all three POC movies. Its an easy read and a very thorough narrative of pirate history. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning more than what POC has taught us about pirates.

A Great Read

This is a book I've wanted to buy for a long time, and I was not disappointed. Not only does it shed some light onto some mysteries of the POTC universe but its also informative about ship life and piracy in general. Great read!

No rules, just guidelines!

Just as 'Cliff Claven' had all the answers on "Cheers" (or at least he thought so), Mr. Gibbs has all the answers to your questions about POTC. This book of guidelines provides quite a bit of info on POTC and also about pirates in general. A must if you're a POTC fan. Very enjoyable!

A must for Pirates fans

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.

Pirate's Code Book

My daughter and I loved The Pirates of the Caribbean movies and I was very happy to find this book to keep in our collection of movie memorebilia. It is fun reading. Also a very nicely made book. A keeper.
