This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers

to illustrate an article discussing the book in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

[edit] Fair use rationale

To expand the fair use rationale for this book cover image in line with the suggested guidelines:

The image is of low resolution and completely unsuitable for commercial copying or any other commercial use.
The image may actually encourage a reader of the article to buy the edition if it is still in print, and/or other titles from the same publisher.
The image does not interfere with the sale of the book or similar titles, and in no way lessens the value of the book or similar titles to the publisher.
The image provides no text of the book, only basic title and author information.
The image is used only to furnish a tangible idea of the book under discussion, and does not violate any rights of the author or publisher.
