The Illustrated Pirate Diaries pairs A. O. Exquemelin’s classic 17th-century buccaneer chronicles with maritime historian Terry Breverton’s crisp commentary, giving readers of every age a richly illustrated tour of the Golden Age of piracy.
Every spread of this 2008 New Holland hardback is heavy with period maps, portraits, and ship plans, all protected by a bright dust jacket; the oversized 290 mm page height lets the artwork breathe while the 192-page narrative stays tight and readable.
Condition is quietly excellent: clean, unmarked pages, no creases, no shelf lean, and a binding that feels as fresh as the day it left the warehouse. A solid gift edition for history buffs, art lovers, or any armchair adventurer hunting the facts behind the legends.
