Review

George Beahm s new guidebook is a vital source that answers more than 40 questions about piracy, lists pirate festivals and museums all over the country, and tells readers how to act like a proper pirate. It goes beyond the movies, exploring the facts behind the fiction. This full-color source book, unlike the children s books or dry adult tomes preceding it, describes the Golden Age of Caribbean pirates with more than 20 new illustrations by Hugo-Award-winning illustrator Tim Kirk and 100 photos. George Beahm is a pop culture guru whose books cover subjects ranging from Anne Rice to Middle Earth. --PMS, The Independent Book Publishers Association

Caribbean Pirates strives to be "the go-to sourcebook for all things piratical." It provides a history of the "golden age of pirates," to be sure, but it also includes guides to modern pirate festivals and museums, complete with details on how to dress, talk, walk and negotiate like a pirate. --Sun-Sentinal

Readers passionate about the Disney movies and those who can not get enough of pirates and their lore will find this book an entertaining and informative read. --Voya
