About the Book:
"...the code is more what'd you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules."
A fun book for those familiar with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, this book is based on the oft-mentioned Pirate Code of the Brethren.
Written as part of the franchises mythos, it is depicted as written by the character of Joshamee Gibbs.
While this particular code is fictional, it is based on the actual codes and articles used by real pirates, who did write their own codes for governing their ships.
This book is fun, even if you do feel like you are too old to enjoy it. Printed as if it had been in the possession of Mr Gibbs, it features his own notes and drawings in the margins, as well as cameos from our favourite characters in the form of letters from Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner.
Including such topics as how to play Liar's Dice, an extensive guide for sailing terminology, the right of parlay; and humourous ones such as Elizabeth Swann's additional uses for a wedding dress, and how to survive on an island full of cannibals.
A must for any of those who are fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, or who just want a fun read.
