Hi Teresa,

The best explanation/rationale I've ever seen regarding this question is  
that at the end of the day, publishers and authors want to sell books, and  
if putting technically unauthorized images of books up on webpages  
generates more interest and, therefore, more sales, then they're not going  
to bring anybody to court for having those book covers displayed. So  
really, it's a win-win situation, even if maybe technically under the law  
they don't have permission. That's the way I look at it! I'll be curious to  
see what others say, however.
