Summary
This is a low-resolution image of the book cover for The City & the City. It is believed that the use of this copyrighted image in The City & the City constitutes fair use under U.S. law and Wikipedia policy because:


 * The book cover is used to identify the book, a function for which no free-use image is available or can be substituted.
 * The cover of the media is not the actual content specifically being sold by the publisher of the media, and therefore the commercial impact of this distribution is minimal or nonexistent.
 * The cover image is uploaded at a low enough resolution that it cannot be effectively used to create counterfeit printed copies, nor does it compete with other official printed materials (if any) by the publisher that use this same image.
