| Description = The artist credited for this image is Kevin Long (an identifying signature, "LONG", appears in the lower center of the illustration).
| Source = The image is derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the book cover. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images, whether appearing here – in the manner and for the purpose described below – or elsewhere, is still held by the same party, that being the original owner, artist, or publisher. Claimed as fair use regardless.
| Portion = The entire front cover, measuring {{convert|8.48|in|cm|2|abbr=on}} width by {{convert|10.92|in|cm|2|abbr=on}} length (corresponding digital capture measures 1272 px by 1637 px scanned at 150 dpi), comprising a relatively small portion of the commercial product as a whole. 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.

| Purpose = 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.

Use of the book cover in the manner and for the purpose described above will not affect the value of the original work or the body of work to which it belongs, neither will it compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the artist's ability to provide and be compensated for book cover illustration and design services and the publisher's ability to market books and other media featuring these works to the public. In particular, copies of this image could not be used to produce or distribute illegal copies of the book's primary content in part or whole, whether for personal use or purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, to the detriment of the original copyright holder.
