  Hi, I would like to do some posts talking about craft books. If I am discussing a book and give full credit, is it OK to put in a cover photo of the book that I took and can I put in a few photos of inside pages? I see it a lot on blogs, ebay, websites. Does it come under “fair use”? I think the post would be more interesting to readers if there are some photos (or at least one of the cover), but don’t want to violate any copyright laws.

  The only person who can really answer this is the copyright owner. Can you ask them?

  Hi Mark, Thank you. I could write to the publisher if they are still in existence.
