Licensing

As shown in the Etsy links below, there is only one copyright notice on the first-edition dust jacket, namely "Jacket design copyright © 1987 by One Plus One Studio".

Etsy:

• image 1 (front cover)
• image 2 (back cover without dust jacket)
• image 3 (title page)
• image 4 (copyright page)
• image 5 (dust jacket)

There is no copyright notice for the photo itself nor for the jacket as a whole, so the photo is published without a copyright notice.

Using the search term "Tommyknockers" and looking at the year of publication 1987, we see two possibly relevant copyright numbers: V2214P087 and For V2214P087, copyright registration numbers must be 12 characters long, and there are no copyright registrations listed under that number, so we can ignore it. TX0002205155 is a copyright registration number, but it refers to the literary work and not the dust jacket nor the photo, so we can ignore that number as well. Thus there are no copyright registrations for the photo itself nor for the jacket as a whole.

Thus the photo is in the public domain in the US.

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice, and its copyright was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years. Unless its author has been dead for several years, it is copyrighted in the countries or areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada (50 pma), Mainland China (50 pma, not Hong Kong or Macau), Germany (70 pma), Mexico (100 pma), Switzerland (70 pma), and other countries with individual treaties.
