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.
