I saw your question about novel covers and copyrights on this articles talk page. You can upload a book cover image as its covered under fair use. Just go to the Wikipedia:Upload page and select A cover or other page from a book, DVD, newspaper, magazine, or other such source, you will be taken to the upload page, browse for your downloaded image, you will need to fill in the Non-free use rationale in the summary section. The easiest thing to do is to look at another image that has been previously uploaded and you will get an idea of what needs to be included in the Non-free use rationale. Here is a book cover that I uploaded: File:The Concrete Blonde.jpg, make sure that you have a low resolution image. You then need to select the Book Cover license and then upload your file. Your cover image should be included in the infobox Book template which you should included in your article, you can find that template here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/InfoboxCode. Good Luck --Captain-tucker (talk) 16:45, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
