The Captain Jack Sparrow Handbook: A Guide to Swashbuckling with the Pirates of the Caribbean

by JasonHeller (Author)

Synopsis

In the tradition of our popular Batman Handbook and Indiana Jones Handbook comes the world's only guide to emulating the most popular pirate in motion picture history: Captain Jack Sparrow . How popular is Captain Jack? Consider that the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films - The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Dead Man's Chest (2006) and At World's End (2007) - grossed a combined $1 billion dollars in the United States alone. Now Johnny Depp and his mates are returning for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides , due in theaters May 20, 2011. Illustrated with film stills, line drawings, and helpful diagrams, The Captain Jack Sparrow Handbook will cover everything a swaggering swashbuckler needs to know, including: How to sail a ship; How to climb rigging; How to decipher a treasure map; How to break a curse; How to survive being marooned; How to battle a sea monster; and much, much more. With skills derived from all three films-and up-to-the-minute data regarding the forthcoming On Stranger Tides - this handbook will be a surefire hit with Pirates fans of all ages.
