This book be a hilarious (how could we expect otherwise once we saw there was a foreword by Dave Berry?) guide to the practical piratical lifestyle by the hearties responsible for International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Inside ye will find piratical wedding vows, pirate zodiac and pirate personality tests, advice columns and (me favorite) the notes from a piratical therapy session. There be snippets in the margins defining useful piratical vocabulary and briefly describing the lives of the most notorious pirates. All in a funny fashion, of course.

This was the perfect read for Talk Like a Pirate Day! I loved the Do's and Don't's of pirate fashion, the constant references to saucy wenches, hearties and fancy lads. It was just a fun book in the irreverent fun-loving spirit that makes Talk Like a Pirate Day both so popular and so entertaining.

SO much fun (though I do wish there actually were pirate paper doll cutouts...). Now avast gawkin and get back to swabbin' the decks, ye lazy landlubbers!! ( )
