Summary[edit]

The cover of The Book of Other People, a 2008 collection of short stories edited by Zadie Smith.

Non-free use rationale[edit]

1. Article: The Book of Other People
2. Description: The cover of The Book of Other People. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher or the cover artist.
3. Source: http://us.penguingroup.com/static/covers/all/4/8/9780143038184H.jpg
4. Portion: The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
5. Low resolution: The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
6. Purpose: To visually identify the subject.
7. Replaceability: As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
