I'd just use the image from inside the book, no illegal downloading necessary.

I admit that when lacking such an easily acquired image I haven't thought twice about downloading covers as it has seemed to be fair use and can't be said to take money from the copyright holder's coffers.

Now I'm wondering how many of us would be willing to spend a small sum on arty cover images for our favorite books
