Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

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.

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Used in the book's article to illustrate the work. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the book in any way. For an article about a book, the first edition cover is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. The image is to suggest something of the book's genre and style.

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. No free alternative available. No free or public domain images have been located for this book.
