IMPORTANT NOTICE
Frankly, I need some legal advice here. This photo was uploaded as part of Chick Bowen's bad book cover project to replace fair-use images of book covers with free-use images. However, I don't know that a recent photograph of an old book cover really qualifies for free use. The book cover, of course, is out of copyright, but the photograph itself - which is much more recent - may not be. If that is the case, then I claim fair-use of the image under the Wikipedia book-cover exception. My rationale:

This image is used solely in the article Washington Square in accordance with the fair-use licensing statement. The article discusses the book whose cover is shown in the image. Casey Abell 14:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

To expand the fair use rationale for this book cover image in line with the suggested guidelines: Casey Abell 14:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) The image is of low resolution and completely unsuitable for commercial copying or any other commercial use.
 * 2) The edition of the book in the image is long out of print, and the image can have no adverse commercial impact on its sale.
 * 3) The image provides no text of the book, only basic title and author information.
 * 4) The image is used only to furnish a tangible idea of the book under discussion, and does not violate any rights of the author's estate or the publisher.
