Ahoy, mates!

A Pre-Publication Special Edition of Raising Black Flags is now available for purchase on the web!  This book of over 100 pages includes poetry from fourteen different pirate poets and the artwork of two pirate artists.  Some of the works have been featured here on this forum but some are brand new and they come in a gorgeous black, gold and white Perfect Bound book that is 8.5" by 8.5".  Some of the work included comes from pirates that are very well known among the community here:  Captain Taffy Saltwater, Rumba Rue, Lady Donegan (AKA Captain Maevous O'Connell), Captain Emerald Shaunassey and Diamond of the Ladies of the Salty Kiss, Captain Tito, and yours truly.  This is a Special Edition of the book and will only be on sale until the end of September.  After that time, the book will be reformatted to a different size.  The book will be basically the same but the large square cover will be gone!  So get one of these while you can!  Go to http://stores.lulu.com/blackbead to get a copy of this gorgeous book for only $10.00 plus shipping!!  Thank ye for yer patronage and the crew of the Adventure wish ye fair winds and a slow galleon!!
