Cover image for novel HMS Surprise by Patrick O'Brian.

[edit] Fair use rationale

It is believed in good faith that the use of a low-resolution image of this book cover, to identify the book in question, in the article about that book (HMS Surprise (novel)) and the Aubrey-Maturin series, constitutes fair use on the English Wikipedia. It is being provided for educational use only, at a resolution too low to allow accurate reproduction of the book cover, and is believed not to diminish the value of the copyright in the material. --Dabbler 14:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

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.
