Did Selling Everett Ruess inspire the title and cover for Finding Everett Ruess?

I find it only a little strange that David Robert's new book has title similar to my working title. Oh, and the cover looks similar to the one I designed.  I can't wait to get my copy of his book to see if he even mentions my research.

For those who have been requesting it ... here is a link to my thesis.

Finding Everett Ruess is getting media coverage

Two things: 1) my copy of "Finding Everett Ruess" by David Roberts is enroute (stay tuned for a book review) and 2) the book is getting some play on my google alert for Everett Ruess.  The reviews are pretty favorable but I don't think they are coming from anyone I would consider a Ruess expert.




Speaking of reviews ...

I recently thumbed through "The Mystery of Everett Ruess" and was sorely disappointed. I didn't read a book description before buying it online but it is safe to say that is a repackaged version of "Vagabond for Beauty." It did have  an updated prologue by the Waldo Ruess family that is worth reading.


p.s. The online versions of my thesis at Scripd.com and Google Docs are experiencing technical difficulties. I hope to have them fixed soon.
