Interesting!

It's great to see Pirates recognized as being one of the first themes with a storyline, named characters, and a multimedia narrative, with the storybooks and audio dramas getting a mention. That full acknowledgement doesn't happen often in these books. Very excited to read this.

As a side note, I kinda suspect that it's the discussion about the pirate storyline here on this forum (probably other places too) over the years that has kept some of these stories from falling back into obscurity and led to their inclusion in this book. A win for everyone here!

This is definitely a release-day purchase for me! Looking forward to the book as a whole, the Pirates section should be very good though!

Looks like an interesting book, especially to somewhat see officially what LEGO will consider under Pirates, Space and Castle after the 2000s, for Pirates it's quite clear as there's basicly 2009 , 2010 Imperial Flagship, 2015 , then 2020 Barracuda Bay , until current, but Castle and Space had more splitoffs.

While the overall design of the page shown above looks great, there is one small detail that irks me. The shadows they added look just about okay for a minfig but when a ships's rigging and strings are basically doubled it looks rather strange.

Day 1 Purchase for me.

It should be noted that those pages are just preliminary designs and the published pages may look different.
