Are you looking for realistic books based on what sailing and piracy was actually like, or are you looking for swashbuckling pirate stereotypes a la Pirates of the Caribbean or Treasure Island?

Those are all pretty good books I've read. Most of them should be available at Barnes & Noble if you go there as well.

Bloody Jack was pretty good for the first couple of books. Ok for the next few and then starts to drag as the series comes to an end. But I do recommend at least the first one.

Hell no, that isn't even good for Manga standards.

Came in here to mention this. I haven't read them, but my late stepfather LOVED this sort of stuff and the Horatio Hornblower texts as well.

He used to read lots of stuff about the technological development of ship-building and naval history. I wonder what happened to his books.
