 The quality of production and packaging here is of the highest standard -it's something Titan Books is getting a reputation for.

The figures, clothing and weapons all shout "Golden Age of Pirates"  and the figure to the left is very "Steam Punk", dont you think?  The clothes, as noted are incredibly well rendered and the weapons are almost like a reference guide.

And the buildings...breath-takingly rendered and I've checked those pages over and over since I got this book yesterday.  The landscapes -all the work of true artistic talent.

Then we have the ships and ports.  The ships are just exquisite.  I wish I could reproduce all of these images. 

It's a fantastic reference book which is not what I expected. I saw the first chapter looking at the futuristic ABSTERGO interior/exteriors I thought "nice but--" In this case, on continuing reading the book I found...art paradise.

This book is a work of art and if you are into pirates, gaming or just an art lover this book is definitely for you.

I cannot recommend it enough. A joy to get in the mail.
