"The Pirates Own Book" is a collection of historical tales about the great age of piracy. The exploits of such famous pirates as Black Beard, Jean Lafitte, Robert Kidd, Edward Low, Thomas White, Anne Bonney, Mary Read as well as many others are recounted here in explicit detail. Comprising a time period between that of the Medieval Norman and Danish Sea Robbers to the cases of piracy in the first half of the Nineteenth Century, Charles Ellms’ "The Pirates Own Book" is a classic collection of the stories of pirates who plagued the era of maritime travel. Enhanced with numerous wood engravings which depict the often gruesome acts perpetrated by these criminals of the sea, "The Pirates Own Book" gives the reader a true sense of what it was really like aboard the high seas and the ever present danger that lingered there in the form of piracy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book Review

Covers all the major pirates, where they came from, what they did, and how they ended. Not much glamour in piracy, more like petty thieves stealing fish in Newfoundland and petty cash from merchant ships. Interesting trial information. Book is dated but as a freebie you can't miss.

I hung in there. This book is more like a series of happenings. Difficult to find any tale like quality.

This one star is a review of the "CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform" version of this book.
The content I found very interesting, I read in on kindle, but it is very dry matter of fact information about real pirates. I thought it might be nice to have a book of it to see the illustrations and have the shelf to look at every once and while. But what I got isn't really a book. It's a large bigger than a magazine print out. This quality won't even bother me so much if they would just make it a reasonable book size, I could put on my shelf, but it's a huge ugly thing that immediately looks like something that should be recycled.
