Hi all,
I'm posting this message as I've discovered two copies of the Black Pirates book among the possessions of my deceased parents.Both books are in quite good condition though only one has origonal dust cover.I have heard that the Black Pirates book was printed by John Sands,Sydney but for some reason the publication was cancelled and most copies destroyed but have no evidence as to wether this is true or not.I was going to put them on ebay but a little research led me to your site and thought I would present them here first.
