[edit] Licensing

The cover of Henry Wills's 1985 book, Pillboxes - A Study of UK Defences 1940.

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 for Henry Wills

This image of the book cover of Pillboxes - A Study of UK Defences 1940, Pillboxes by Henry Wills.jpg, is being linked to the article on the author. Although the picture is subject to copyright I (Gaius Cornelius) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book in any way;
Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book;
The image on the cover is significant to the article because it is the author's most well known work and, as the cover of the original edition, illustrates important aspects of the articles.
