[edit] Summary

Scan of the front cover of the UK first hardcover edition of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams, first printed in 1987 by William Heinemann Ltd., London.

[edit] Fair use rationale in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

While this image is being used in the article about the book, it is also being used in the article about the book's author. The image is of the first hardcover printing of the book, which is now rare, and was only one of two books published about its title character. For these reasons, it is believed that this use of this image does not infringe on the rights of the book's publisher, William Heinemann Ltd.

In addition:

1. It illustrates an article about the book from which the cover illustration was taken.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
3. The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.
4. It is a low resolution image.
5. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
6. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

[edit] Licensing

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.
