Also, for some reason this one is selling for pretty cheap, all the more reason to buy it! ( )If you've ever actually studied pirates, like me, you will find that this book is wildly inaccurate. The facts are mixed up. Thought this is a really cool book and I myself do enjoy writing in the code that is hidden in the book, it is not accurate, and won't really teach you anything about pirates. This is a fun book; it skims over many different aspects of pirate life. Captain William Lubber is a-questing to find Arabella Drummer, a fierce woman who seems to be a hybrid of Anne Bonney and Captain Kidd. This book would have been even better if it hadn't come out on the heels of Pirates. The two books are so similar - with Pirates being the superior, in my opinion - that it cheapens this one. www.pirateology.com 0.201 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
