http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0802467016/qid=1111078848/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-1653320-0448638?v=glance&s=books

This image is a book cover, created by an artist under contract to Moody Publishers. Because this image will be used in the context of an informative article about the book, the use of the image may be viewed as informative and perhaps even promotional, and is thus more likely to profit the publisher than to harm them.

[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.

If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.
