Template:Non-free book cover
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 this independent wiki, subject to its image-use policy and applicable law,
qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on this wiki or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Non-free content for more information.
To the uploader:
- Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
- For example non-free use rationales, see Use rationale examples.
- This tag should only be used for book covers.
- Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.
- Any of the following may be helpful for stating the rationale: Template:Book rationale, Template:Non-free use rationale book cover, or Template:Manga rationale.

By default, this template adds images to Category:Non-free images of book covers, unless |category= is used to assign the image to a more specific image category: {{Non-free book cover | category=Stephen King book covers}}
Sorting defaults to {{PAGENAME}}, but |title= may be used if sorting by the filename is not preferred: {{Non-free book cover | title=Game of Thrones, A }}
As with the other non-free image templates, sorting by words other than the title is possible as well by using: {{Non-free book cover | sort key }}
