Public domain book jacket
This image is in the public domain because it is of a book dust jacket first or simultaneously published in the United States between 1931 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice, or between 1978 and 28 February 1989, inclusive, without a notice and subsequent registration with the Copyright Office within 5 years.

Per the 1973 Compendium of US Copyright Office Practices 4.3.1.II.d and 4.4.3.IV, removable dust jackets are treated as separate works from the books they cover. The same is said in the 2014 Compendium.[1]

For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death),[2] and those that do but do not interpret a failure to comply with formalities as an expiration of a work's term of protection.[3]


  1. See 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."
  2. These include Canada (70 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.
  3. France is one such example. See 17 December 2009 - Cour de cassation - Pourvoi n° 07-21.115.
