Fair use rationale[edit]

It is believed in good faith that the use of a low-resolution image of this book cover, to identify the book in question, in the article about that book (HMS Surprise (novel)) and the Aubrey-Maturin series, constitutes fair use on the English Wikipedia. It is being provided for educational use only, at a resolution too low to allow accurate reproduction of the book cover, and is believed not to diminish the value of the copyright in the material. --Dabbler 14:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
