WAY OF THE PIRATE & PRIVATEERS Paperback – Illustrated, January 31, 2002

This is exactly the kind of reference book for which I've been searching for years. My sea shanty group, Bounding Main [...], portrays Elizabethan mariners, and finding references to any kind of nautical cove beyond Drake, Frobisher, Hawkins and other "big names" has proven to be difficult, heretofore. This book gives you a delicious little taste of knowledge, the further pursuit of which is very exciting. A great "Who's Who" of the pirate genre!

If you are interested in Pirates (like I am) this is just what you need and want. It's a directory of those who partook in the pirate trade. There is a blurp about each - some just a tidbit of information whilst others like Kidd and Blackbeard are much longer. This is going to be a Gem that one can flip through leisurely now and again
