If you take a photo of a book cover yourself (e.g. for recommending it as an Amazon product), how do you deal with copyright issues? Do you ask permission from the publishers? The information is probably in here, which I'll have to read, but does anyone know offhand?

I guess permission is required. Usually there's a stipulation at the start of books to the effect that no part of a publication may be copied or stored without permission from the publishers. But does extend to the cover if it's being used to sell the book?
I included a copy of a book I own for a review I wrote. In the attribution area I wrote "from my personal library".

I have an account at Shutterstock, where I submit photos for use, and which pays (will pay, once I'm established) when someone wants to use my images. They are as strict as HP when it comes to copyright, and also posting personal information.I am having a bit of a battle with them on two...

Following the advice of a fellow hubber I did a search query on myself on Google. The first several hubs which came up were normal and then I found one of my hubs that led to a "Secret Search Engine" labs by another hubber. This hub has lost a tremendous amount of traffic and now it looks...
