North American Pirates and Their Lost Treasure - Book
NBN044
Expert treasure hunter, W.C. Jameson introduces yet another intriguing collection of pirate tales featuring swashbuckling cutthroats, lost buried treasures, and sunken ships. Pirate stories have long been enshrouded with a sense of mystery and danger. Pop culture has romanticized the risky exploits of pirates to the point that they often seem more like super-heroes from an action movie, than outlaws who terrorized shipping lanes and seaports along the Atlantic Coast. Similar to rustlers and gunslingers in the old west, pirates were truly the outlaws of the high seas. Instead of riding horses, they sailed ships. Instead of preying...

Silly Seals
Silly Seals - Book
NBN033
Seals by nature are elusive and difficult to see in the wild; yet they are immensely popular, perhaps because they are so graceful and have some surprisingly human qualities, or perhaps it is because they are free to move between our world above the ocean’s surface and an alien world beneath the waves. Well, the seals in this little gift book have been caught in some of their less-than-graceful moments. Over seventy color photos capture seals just doing their thing; and short, pithy phrases tell you just what these seals would say if they could only talk!
