Source	Bookjacket photo
Article	Alistair MacLean
Portion used	Entire picture

Purpose of use	Used in article to illustrate the infobox at the top of the article, where photographs of the direct subject of the article typically appear. This is a promotional photograph of author who has been deceased for close to three decades. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.

Replaceable?	This author rarely made public appearances when alive, so chance of ever obtaining a free image is near-zero.
