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.

This image is used solely in the article Mary Queen of Scots in accordance with the licensing statement. The article discusses the book whose cover is shown in the image. Casey Abell 20:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

To expand the fair use rationale for this book cover image in line with the suggested guidelines:

1. The image is of low resolution and completely unsuitable for commercial copying or any other commercial use.
2. The image may actually encourage a reader of the article to buy the edition if it is still in print, and/or other titles from the same author or publisher.
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 or publisher.
