[edit] Summary

Scan of book cover for illustrative purposes

[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.

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.

This image was scanned by me. It is a scan of the cover of a book which was published in a limited edition of 250 copies in 1971. It is used to illustrate the article on the author, Kevin Gilbert. The cover features a linocut made by the author and hand applied. The author learned the craft whilst in gaol. The linocut demonstrates the artist's skill in the craft and his affinity with his indigenous heritage. The article quotes and critiques albeit briefly one of the poems in the book. I believe that this qualifies as fair use of this image.
