So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Aren't the covers of books copyrighted? How are you using the covers of the books in the book review collages that are posted on Instagram?

Hello.

Thank you for the inquiry. I'm not sure I understand your questions correctly. Are you asking if you can use the book covers on Instagram? Thanks.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

Yes, can we use the book cover images for our book review links? I have seen great collages including the book cover, a comment, graphics, and a tiny OBC logo on Instagram, Pinterest, etc. My book review link just shows a huge OBC logo.

If you use a book cover for a link to a review of that book, I don't think there will be an issue. However, I'm not familiar with how Instagram works since I have never used it. Thanks.
