This template is optimized for book cover art used in the article about the book. It may or may not work in other contexts. For example, this non-free use rationale may not be appropriate for images of magazines, comic books, collections, or alternate editions. Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template.
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. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work.

This page provides some basic examples for how to write a fair use rationale. Good rationales might expand on why the non-free item is needed, why a free item cannot be used in its place, and what essential function it performs in each article in which it is to be used. Please modify the text so that it applies to the specific image and use of it.
For more specific rationale templates, look in Category:Non-free use rationale templates.; A different approach is to use {{Non-free media data}} combined with {{Non-free media rationale}}, which is less clumsy in situations where an image is used in multiple articles.
This image is of a branded product cover, and the copyright for it is most likely held by either the company responsible for marketing the product in question or the manufacturer which produced either the cover or product itself.
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Non-free use rationale templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page.
