When 826 Valencia opened San Francisco’s only pirate supply store in 2002, we did not understand how very badly pirates want to talk about their time at sea, and their experiences with everything ocean- and ship-related. Eventually, after it became clear that we could not stop them, we started listening. The result is our How To… series of self-help books.

Things you will find in How To Begin:

• Management consequences of beard style.
• Rumors, falsehoods, white lies, half lies, bald-faced lies, the occasional errant truth, and more!
