Summary

[edit]

Date
Source This scan was sourced from a listing to sell the book [at https://www.abebooks.com/first-edition/Double-Dream-Spring-John-Ashbery-Dutton/7056626022/bd AbeBooks.com] (direct link to jpg)
Author Unknown authorUnknown author; uncredited designer/illustrator for publisher E. P. Dutton. A photo portrait of the author on the dust jacket's right flap (not pictured) is credited to Shunk–Kender, although it is undated and lacks the "©" symbol (or any acceptable substitute).
Permission
(Reusing this file)

No permission is required because the dust jacket was first published prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice. The Double Dream of Spring was first published in 1970. The hardcover book itself carried a copyright notice, and its contents remain copyrighted; see this scan of the book via archive.org (archive). the first-edition dust jacket did not carry a separate copyright notice. According to The Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices: Chapter 2200, § 2207.1(C) at p. 15:

"A notice of copyright on the dust jacket of a book is not an acceptable notice for the book, because the dust jacket is not permanently attached to the book. Likewise, a notice appearing in a book is not an acceptable notice for the dust jacket or any material appearing on that dust jacket, even if the book refers to the jacket or material appearing on the jacket."
To verify the lack of a copyright notice, high-resolution photos of other parts of the same edition's dust jacket can be seen via Burnside Rare Books and eBay. The back cover and spine; left flap; right flap. By comparison, the first-edition dust jacket for Ashbery's 1984 book A Wave did carry copyright notices separate and apart from the book: the right flap (via this ebay listing) includes the messages "© 1984 Thomas Victor" next to the author's photo portrait and "Jacket design 1984 Bob Silverman, Inc" (note that between 1978 and 1989 either notice or registration were required, but in 1977 or earlier a separate notice was always required.)

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
