Summary

Non-free media data – non-free book cover
Description	This is the front cover art for the book The City and Its Uncertain Walls. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to Shinchosha Publishing Co..
Source	https://apnews.com/article/japan-haruki-murakami-new-novel-title-f1e9dcdc806827b83d6b7df5f3f1945c
Portion used	The entire front cover. 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.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Other information	Use of the book cover in articles complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described below.

Replaceable?	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.
