Publishers Weekly
For those who can't get enough of pirate lore, the paper-over-board Piratepedia by Alisha Niehaus and Alan Hecker brims with full-color photographs with reproductions of real pirate weapons as well as simulated blood drops. Tracing pirates from Viking days to 21st-century "modern marauders," the book then delves into pirates of the literary kind-such as the Pirates of Penzance and Captain Hook-and includes a Jolly Roger poster plus a path to a "secret online treasure."
