To be totally honest, and I really hate to say this, but I don't think this book is coming out at all. The book was originally supposed to be released in November 2009, but neither the book nor any updates on the book's release was shown.

Again, I hate saying this, but I can't think of why else we haven't heard any word on the book as of this point. As far as we know, Disney had already cancelled the releases of 3 other POTC-related material:
 * Swashbucklers - A TV show based on the films (Ok, I will say I don't mind this being cancelled)
 * Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned - A video game taking place 15 years before the films. A HIGHLY anticipated open world video-game...Why Disney? Why O' WHY?
 * Pirates of the Caribbean: Six Sea Shanties - A comic book that would answer SO many questions: Barbossa's cursed crew learning of the Fountain of Youth, what happened in between At World's End and On Stranger Tides, even what Blackbeard's past was like before On Stranger Tides. Again, WHY Disney?

I hate to sound rude, but Disney expects us to buy their stuff, but doesn't deliver the goods...even after SO much publicity(trailers, news articles, etc). It's like they want us to be mad at them or something.

(Sorry about my rant, but this thing Disney does with releases...)
