Burnham's Celestial Handbook (1978 Dover Edition - Volume 3)

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.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Robert Burnham, Jr.
Description	Paperback book cover for Burnham's Celestial Handbook (1978 Dover Edition - Volume 3). The art used on the cover itself is a photograph of the well-known Crab Nebula.
Source	www.amazon.co.uk, but widely available elsewhere on the Internet.
Article	Robert Burnham, Jr.
Portion used	Only the front cover of one volume in a three volume set. Absolutely none of the book's content is used, and the value of the work as a whole to the copyright holder cannot be harmed by this use. I believe that its use in this article is covered by U.S. fair use laws.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	To illustrate or represent the only published work of Robert Burnham, Jr., the subject of the article. This article is also currently the sole entry on Wikipedia which describes that published work.
Replaceable?	Not replaceable. No other cover art image, other than a similar one for either volume one or volume two, could be used to serve the purpose already described. To the best of my knowledge, it is a copyrighted cover, and no free image is available that is also a correct representation for the actual book cover.
