The actual subtitle on the cover is:
“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”
Hmmm.
Do not judge a book by it is cover.
Yes I am a grammer nasty.
It’s a dirty job but someone has to do it.
Better me than some poor innocent soul who wouldn’t enjoy it.

And on another note.

I can not imagine a pirate’s wife landing on a rocky shore sword in hand wearing that outfit.

See Geena Davis Cutthroat Island for practical swordswoman attire.

But how about a pirates wife? As in polygamy. Clearly the pictured woman is wife to multiple pirates simultaneously; there is no possessive apostrophe.

I suppose it could have fallen off and landed in the tagline.

Yeah: reciting that aphorism around here (with “its” misspelled to add insult to injury as Naaman Brown has already noted) is like being a character in a horror movie and saying “Hey, honey, let’s have sex in this graveyard here!” Not only is your situation almost guaranteed to end badly for you, but any sympathy the audience might otherwise have had for you immediately dries up the moment you say things like that.

“Don’t Judge a book by it’s cover”
Uh… ain’t that the point of this site?

Not precisely. We don’t judge books by their covers. We judge covers by their covers.

(Although the truth is that most books with lousy covers are also lousy books.)

Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Or its punctuation.
Or its plot.
Or its characters.
Or its author.
By what measure are we then allowed to judge it?
