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.

Cover photograph of "Oink" by Roger Hargreaves (a part of the Timbuctoo series of children's books).

This image is based on a straightforward mechanical reproduction of the cover art found on EBay. It has been cropped and level-corrected. (As can be seen, there is nothing here which wasn't in the original cover art.)

Used as representative sample, not to illustrate article.
The use of this low-resolution photograph in a valid context does not deprive the author's estate or his publishers of the ability to profit from the image.
