Summary[edit]
Cover of the original hardcover edition, created from a scan of my personal copy. The image was airbrushed a bit to remove visible wear and tape damage.
| Description |

| Portion used |
Only the book's front cover is used. This image is only a small portion of the commercial product. |
| Low resolution? |
The image is of sufficient resolution for illustration, but considerably lower resolution than original. Any copies made from this image would be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. |
| Purpose of use |
This book cover is used as the primary means of visual identification of the book for informational and educational purposes. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. |
| Replaceable? |
As a book cover, this image is protected by copyright; any other image that shows the cover of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
Use of this image in the above article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. Also note that this image is one of only two known sources referencing the Robert Heinlein quote shown (the other source being inside the book where 'fair use' likely does not apply for this matter.) |
