Who owns what on RNKD, how we handle book covers and quotations, and how to tell us if we have got it wrong.
Effective September 7, 2026 · Last updated September 7, 2026
Reviews
In shortOwned by the reviewer, licensed to RNKD.
Each review is the copyright of its author. RNKD holds a licence to publish, edit for style, excerpt, and promote it. If you want to reproduce a review beyond a short quotation, ask us and we will ask the reviewer.
Book covers
In shortPublisher artwork, shown to identify the book under review.
Cover images on RNKD are reproduced at small size to identify the specific book a review is about. Most come from the Open Library cover archive; where it holds no image for an edition, the cover is taken from the publisher’s own listing for that ISBN. Either way the copyright in each cover remains with the publisher or artist who created it, and we record the source of every image we use. RNKD claims no ownership of any cover image and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any publisher or author.
We record the source of every image we use. Where no cover is available to us, the page shows a plain placeholder rather than an uncleared image. If you hold rights in a cover shown here and would like it removed, write to us using the Copyright option on the contact page and we will take it down; we will not ask you to argue about it first.
Book titles and author names
In shortFacts, used to say which book is which.
Titles and author names appear here to identify the works under review. Trade marks and other rights in them belong to their owners. Nothing on RNKD implies a publisher, author, or retailer approved, supplied, or reviewed any of this.
Quotations from books
In shortShort, necessary, attributed.
Reviews may quote briefly from the book under review where the review needs it. We keep excerpts short, attribute them, and never reproduce substantial portions.
Reporting infringement
In shortTell us specifically, and we will act.
If you believe material on RNKD infringes your copyright, send a notice using the Copyright option on our contact page or by email to contact@rnkd.online. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a complete notice includes:
- a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf;
- identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
- identification of the material on RNKD you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it — a URL is best;
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
We remove or disable material in response to valid notices, and we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address.
Retired pages
In shortRemoved on purpose, and it stays removed.
When a page is withdrawn, its address returns HTTP 410 Gone rather than redirecting somewhere unrelated, so nobody lands on a page they did not ask for. Where a removal was a correction, the page it affected is updated to say so.
