This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). 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 the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Although this image is subject to copyright, I, User:Sue Wallace, believe its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for the book article mentioned above because:

1. It is used in an article about the book The Fog
2. The image is used in the article's infobox
3. It is a low resolution image
4. The low resolution of the image makes it unsuitable for illegal purposes such as piracy
5. The entire image is used
6. The article describes the book in-depth and the subject matter shown in the image.
7. Its inclusion is for information purposes and adds to the reader's overall critical analysis of the book and the article
8. The image copyright is owned by New English Library.
9. Its inclusion here makes no claims of copyright ownership.
10. Image was sourced from http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?375656 (the creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publishing company, claimed as fair use regardless.
11. No copyright free image of the book exists (any would be a derivative and would still be subject to copyright).
12. This image is already widely distributed to identify the book as part of reviews and catalogs so I believe I do not degrade any market value by providing it here for critical and educational purposes .
