Dhaval bhai has already talked about fair use so I ll just extend his argument. If I recall correctly, uploading low resolution files of movie posters and book covers with the fair use tag is permissible on English Wikipedia. This also suggests that time may have come for Gujarati Wikipedia community to make and publicly document it's guidelines for content and policies.

May be someone from us should have deep look into this issue. To me, it seems that if we put only the cover image, it should be ok... I wonder how Amazon / ebay deals with this issue..
At present just to avoid any consequences, let us refrain from breaking any law and at the same time check for the solution.

Dear Kartikbhai , Technically it may creat copyright issue , however if only book cover is displayed and not the content then it serves more as publicity of the book , so I do not think any author will challenge it . Rgds / Sanjay Pandya
2013/2/18 Konarak Ratnakar konarak.11@gmail.com આ કોપીરાઇટનો સરાસર ભંગ કહેવાય.
2013/2/18 Kartik Mistry kartik.mistry@gmail.com વ્હાલા વિકિપીડિઅન્સ,
જો આપણે કોઇ લેખકના પુસ્તકનાં કવરનો ફોટો વિકિપીડિઆ (કે કોમન્સ)માં અપલોડ કરીએ તો એ કોપીરાઇટનો ભંગ કહેવાય કે ના કહેવાય? આ પ્રન્ન તમે લાગતા-વળગતાં મેઇલિંગ લિસ્ટ પર ફોર્વડ કરી શકો છો, અથવા એ માટેનું લિસ્ટ મને જણાવવા વિનંતી. જો અહીં જ ઉત્તર મળે તો ઉત્તમ!
આભાર.
