Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Illustrate the style of Remington's illustrations to give an idea of why they achieved cult status among American students in the 1960s. The discussion is in the article's "Illustrations" section.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The exact cover illustrations are required.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is at very low resolution (three covers squashed into one thumbnail). It is used only in one article on Wikipedia.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Some 55 years have elapsed since the images were published on the book covers, and many copies of them are available in print and on the Internet. Adding a low-res version here will not change that.
