Concept art and on-set photography illustrate how unique locations such as the 153rd Branch Marine Base, Windmill Village, Baratie, Whisky Peak, Little Garden, Drum Island, and numerous pirate ships—including the iconic Going Merry—were constructed using a mix of stunning practical sets and striking visual effects. Filled with exclusive interviews and commentary, this book describes the meticulous work that went into the creation of the costumes, prosthetics, hair and makeup, sets, stunts, and much more.

This incredible hardcover book is the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this thrilling live-action show.
