Fair use rationale for Zodiac (novel) edit

This image of the book cover of Zodiac (novel), Stephenson Book Zodiac.png, is being linked to from the article on the book. Although the picture is subject to copyright I (User:Fred_Hsu) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book in any way;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book;
4. the image on the cover is significant to the article because, as the cover of the book, it illuestrates important aspects of the article.
