The Aztec Gold of all "Art of" Books!
I just got the book today from Amazon and I can most confidently say it is the best of all the "Art of" books that I own. The raised embossed cover embellished with a large pirate skull is beautiful, as well as the spine, which simulates an antiqued leather book. You won't find any cheap workmanship here- the whole book is littered with fantastic concept art from all 3 films (and the last page gives a hint that the third film may not be the last). Everything printed in this book is colored- except the pencil drawings, which I was able to see a few of these in the Disney Gallery at Disneyland. I had asked them repeatedly when a book would be published featuring the artwork and now I know why they took so long. I love this book, simply put.
AVAST!!!
If you love the films, and you love film concept art, then this tome is most certainly for you!
The book is large, to say the least, so the repros of the art are given lots of page space. Each of the three films gets about fifty pages apiece, and there's about six gatefold-style pages to boot.
Disney went all out with this one, and in my opinion, is well worth the price.
Stop reading, and go get it!
Art of Pirates of the Caribbean--THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE!
I am a big fan of "The Art of..." type books, and they are usually great fun and add to my enjoyment of the movie. "The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean", however, sets a new standard for quality in this type of book. From the faux-leather cover and binding, to the quality of the paper and the standards of the printing and color reproduction, this is the BEST book of its kind I have ever seen. Filled with fantastic art from all three movies, lavishly laid out...two page fold-out spreads; framable quality full page paintings and sketches..this book has it ALL. If you're a fan of the movies; appreciate great Pirate Art; or simply enjoy a lavishly produced movie book--BUY THIS BOOK (or as Capt. Jack would say--"Just go and steal it!")
