[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for The Sterile Cuckoo (novel)
Description	Cover for the book
Source	Derived from a scan of the book cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	The Sterile Cuckoo (novel)
Portion used	Entire front cover, but does not include back or insides of original artwork
Low resolution?	Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use	Illustrates the appearance of the book and identifies it by recognized features.
Replaceable?	No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)
Other information	Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the book as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.

[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.
