This cover is NegRein. Riders of the Purlple Sage appears to be Zane Grey’s Riders of the Purple Sage. Don’t tell me, I wanna guess: the book’s officially P.D. fair game now; yep, no (c) page in the Amazon Look Inside. OK, folks, most public domain transcripts I have seen are in bad need of proof reading, and often lose formatting like italic, bold, punctuation from the original and contain misspellings and have [missing] words. Since the cover misspells “Purple” as “Purlple” I have no confidence that any care has been done with the editing of the text.

POSrein: The misspelled word and purple sky and the Little Lord Funnybones script font very cleverly distract the eye from the silhouette work. I mean, that feller is about 20 feet closer than the horse with no saddle (which is OK because he is riding the purlple sage instead of the horse), and he stole T. Rex’s short, stubby arms. The silhouette of that mountain looks like a reclining Mudflap girl.
None of which I noticed because of the word Purlple.
The horror, the horror. $5 says that they just lifted it, in toto, from PG and slapped it in there, no formatting, no nothing. Poor Zane. (I once worked on a real estate deal involving his Cabin, here in AZ).

PosRein: By leaving their name off it entirely, the author has largely avoided associating themselves with this cover.

Uh, Joe?
That’s Zane Grey’s famous novel, Riders of the Purple Sage. It’s actually fairly legendary.
