Rationale of fair use for Serial Experiments Lain

The image is a scan from the artbook Visual Experiments Lain from Pioneer LCD, and intended for wide distribution.
This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, meaning it describes the three different personalities of Lain.
The scan is of lower resolution than the original book (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
No free or public domain images have been located for this purpose.
The scan does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the book in any way.
The scan is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original artbook in any way.
