The
Art
of
Pirates
of the
Caribbean
presents a definitive, exclusive look into the preparation and production of the successful movie trilogy. Overflowing with hundreds of full-color images, the book showcases concept drawings, set designs, and costume sketches, as well as the intricate props, set pieces, and even special effects that contribute so much to the Pirates mythology. Even the cover is visually arresting-imitating the leather-covered log of a ship's captain. Also included is special commentary from the unit publicist who was there to see it all. For Pirates fans everywhere, this treasure chest of art and design from the entire movie trilogy is a visual feast that promises hours of endless browsing pleasure.

A big book filled with detailed sketches and paintings
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1VN63BDC37HHA This is a humongous book. In one photo below, I've put my number-pad-less keyboard for comparison. The hardcover has a leather type treatment and slightly spongy to make it feel like an ancient book. The paper stock is thick and there are several fold out pages.
This book contains concept
art
for the 3 movies for
Pirates
of the
Caribbean
: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.
There are sketches, paintings and some storyboards. The focus of the book is on set and character design. The concept paintings have so much detail that will be lost if not printed on a book this size. To zoom in even closer on the paintings, there's where the fold out pages come into play. The portraits for Captain Barbossa and his decomposed skeletal crew are draw at life size!
There are also numerous paintings for the ships, creatures, harbour and the seas.
Fans of Pirates of the Caribbean should find this book very interesting. Character designers too.
There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

This is a fantastic book! I can't say enough about how well this book was put together. It's oversided quite like the "Book of Codes" from the movie with splendid
art
work throughout. Needless to say I am quite pleased. If you enjoy great production artwork this volume is for you.
YO HO
If you are a fan of the
Pirates
Movies this is a must have book! The
art
work in this book is amazing how they show them bringing the characters from conception art work to the big screen. Some truly amazing pictures in this book very vivid like you walked into the film. Love the Book and would highly recommend it.

Grotesquery on the High Seas
This is a treasure-trove of fantastic (and often quite grotesque!) drawings, paintings, digital
art
works, and more from the creative people that made the "
Pirates
" movies. It's a hefty book and makes for a great conversation piece on the coffee table.
A TRUE GEM!!!
I've never been so satisfied buying a product than when I purchased this book. Being both a
Pirates
of the
Caribbean
movies fan and moviemaking
art
books collector, I savor every inch of artwork featured in this book. I love all the artworks depicted here, but my favorite is the Kraken part, as well as most artworks done by Crash McCreery. A superb collection that any of you, movie artphiles, dare not miss.
