General Note:
"A pirate hunter's companion"

"Publisher's note: Pirateology was allegedly found in an old sea chest by divers searching for wrecks off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in 2006. While it mostly conforms to accepted ideas about historical pirates, there are a few elements, such as the "black spot," which were previously unknown except in works of fiction such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Research has revealed no other traces of William Lubber, his ship the Sea Cat, or his nemesis, Arabella Drummond."

Book includes some removable parts, flaps to lift, small letters to read, etc.
