Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	This is the front cover art for the first edition (hardcover) of the book The Sirens of Titan written by Kurt Vonnegut. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher, Dell, or the cover artist.
Author or copyright owner	Kurt Vonnegut
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	AbeBooks
Date of publication	1959
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	The Sirens of Titan
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	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.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution image of a work's cover will not impact the commercial viability of the work.
