The Government Manual for New Pirates

Front Cover
7 Reviews
Andrews McMeel Publishing, Apr 1, 2007 - Humor - 144 pages
There be no callin' 'dibs' in piratin'. Booty be divided among the crew, from the lowest deckswabber to the highest masthand. So says the Pirate Code." --Calico Jack Rackham, king of the pirates

* Coinciding with the release of the final installment of Pirates of the Caribbean comes a witty mock-official handbook for potential pirates and plunderers.

Matthew David Brozik and Jacob Sager Weinstein continue to spoof those uber-utilitarian survival and how-to guides by offering this pithy pirating primer for budding buccaneers. This treasure trove of Pirate Code imparts wisdom on eye patches and tricorner hats, talking the talk, walking the walk (down the plank, that is), appropriate ship names, dueling, avoiding cursed treasure, and much more.
