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.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Gary Gygax
Description	Module Cover
Source	http://www.acaeum.com/ It is believed that the copyright is held by Wizards of the Coast (after acquiring TSR, Inc.).
Article	Gary Gygax
Portion used	Cover only, a small portion of the commercial product.
Low resolution?	Yes, small-size.
Purpose of use	Article Gary Gygax. The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the module). It's inclusion in this particular article is two-fold; it is a representative of the many works that Gygax designed for the D&D and AD&D games through out his career; this particular game module is notable amongst the players of the game for it's particular construction, style, and "deadliness" to the game players, and is an oft-discussed topic.
Replaceable?	There is no free equivalent of this cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
Other information	The use of the cover will not 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 module.
