It's from 1974 according to the date inside, so before the movies were made. (I believe some things were added to the attraction after the movies came out.)

The first part of the book is a brief history of piracy and pirates. The second part of the book discusses audio-animatronics and how that was used to create the attraction. The book contains many illustrations and photographs.

I was hoping for a bit of the storyboard story they created though to explain the scenes in the ride or how the story progresses. (Then again, I'm sure some of that changed a bit once the movies came out.)

All in all, a walk down memory lane. ( )
