Summary[edit]

Fair Use rationale[edit]
| Description |
This is the front cover art for the book Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House written by Valerie Plame. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher, Simon & Schuster, or the cover artist. |

| Portion used |
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. |
| Low resolution? |
325 x 500px |
| Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. 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 in the infobox 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. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public. |
| Replaceable? |
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. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work. |
| Other information |
Use of the book cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |

- Additional fair use points
- The webpage for the book at its publisher's website Simon Says (cited in External links in the article on the book) features this book cover; it appears to be within fair use to post the image of the book cover in Wikipedia articles discussing the book. The website features a notice of copyright to Simon and Schuster, which is being credited in the caption for this photo as used in Wikipedia.
- In addition to being referred to in the lead of the article Valerie Plame, further information about the book is in the article on the book, Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House, and in the specific section on the book in the article Valerie Plame#Fair Game.
- No specific photographer is credited for the image used in the book cover on the Simon and Schuster website. (See * below.)
- The same cover image is being used in sites like Amazon.com and other book publishers sites in featured information about the book.
- The webpage features the following notice: "Copyright ©1997 - 2007, Simon & Schuster, Inc. ... All rights reserved, including the right of reproduction in whole or in part in any form." The book was published on October 22, 2007, and thus its promotional cover photograph is "© 2007 Simon & Schuster," as the caption indicates (shortened version, w/ Wikified link).
- (*) In its own use of the same photograph of Valerie Plame Wilson that appears on the cover, the Brown Lecture Board (Brown University) credits "Julie Dennis" as the photographer in its publicity for Wilson's December 4, 2007 lecture about the book.[1]
- Another photograph of Valerie Plame Wilson, on the occasion of that Brown U lecture about the book (a free image) is also now provided as an illustration in the infobox for the article Valerie Plame.
- This photograph of the book cover is being used "within fair use" in the article on the book and in sections of Wikipedia articles that discuss the book.
