The sea journal of captain William Lubber.

You can definitely see the appeal of a big black book with "Pirate" on the side of it. The binding is sturdy and dark, and on the cover is a compass. Inside is strings and flaps, a lot like the Dragonology book, but with pirates instead -duh! There's letters and article clippings held on by tape, and what's this? Little letters and tiny books within books? Talk of treasure and gold and strange animals(name one book with a tenrec in it, seriously!), enough to really get your imagination going.

Kids will love this book, more than the dragon one though? No way! Dragons beat pirates, just ask a kid! ( )

This is a book that will help you to find out about pirates if you want to know about them

In this book will show you what do piratedo to find gold

this is a great book to find out the interior of a pirate boat y the flags the use to warn the other pirates. ( )

This was the first 'ology' book I bought - it was selling cheapish [comparatively] at Exclusive and I snapped it up. The book is perfect for young minds, full of imagination and interesting pictures. Although it has been tagged here as non-fiction, it is I suppose faction, where a lot of facts are hung around an adventure to make everything more palatable and exciting.

Pirateology is not the book of choice as a reference work but it is a wonderfull way to learn a little bit about those Eighteenth Century Freebooters and Privateers - especially in an age in which impression are formed either by Disney or by the news headlines. ( )

I love these books. They are interactive and full of learning experiences for every age. Also, for some reason this one is selling for pretty cheap, all the more reason to buy it! ( )
