[edit] Summary

Still Digging is a book of memoirs by Sir Mortimer Wheeler. I (Kraxler) scanned the cover. The book was first published by Michael Joseph Ltd., 1955; this cover belongs to the re-edition, slightly abridged by the author, by Pan Books Ltd., 8 Headfort Place, London, S.W.1, 1958, book number GP 94, printed in Great Britain by Richard Clay and Company, Ltd., Bungay, Suffolk. The cover artist is S R Boldero.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Mortimer Wheeler
Description	book cover
Source	the book
Article	Mortimer Wheeler
Portion used	this is the cover, all of it, not the actual book, nothing of the text of the book is used
Low resolution?	no, this is an automatic scan, the resolution is dictated by the software
Purpose of use	to show it as a reference
Replaceable?	no
Other information	The only sensible thing here would be to change the law, making it generally possible to use book covers to show them anywhere, especially on non-profit sites, since the ultimate puyrpose of the cover is to advertise the book, to make it known, or in this case, being more than 50 years old, to keep it known. To use this on wikipedia is a VERY BIG favour for both the author and the publisher.

[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.
