Question about intellectual Property laws

[MTNPhotos]

Can I sell stock photography of book covers? I have a photo of the US Constitution, but I am not sure if you have to get permission from the publisher. Can anybody give me some advice?

Book covers, I believe should be handled like this;

- If in a creative setting, such as being held/read by a person, or placed on a coffee table with props, then all is good. Sell as usual.

- If it is the book cover only, not showing any such creativity, or maybe shows nothing else at all, then it is ok to sell for 'editorial only' - which you will find in the optional data tab when applying your metadata. "Sell for editorial only" button.
