Avast, Ahoy, and All That Stuff

I'm reading The Republic of Pirates now, bought it with my Father's Day B&N gift card in hardback, which I rarely do. SO far, the book is everything historical, nautical, and piratical that I hoped for. Check it out today, read it free at your local bookstore whilst swilling potent java, or wait until it shows up on library shelves or at a reduced price on Amazon. But do Tally Ho and read it.
