The 'For Dummies' book cover generator



Like the magazine cover generator, the For Dummies book cover generator can create a For Dummies book cover on any topic you desire.

Recently Jason Calacanis was contacted by a lawyer for Wiley Publishing to inform him that even using "For Dummies" in a blog post headline constituted trademark infringement. After a few emails, he determined that they allow "For Dummies" to be used in headlines as long as the proper attribution language is included somewhere in the post. So below you'll see the attribution language, linked to Jason's post showing just how ridiculous some companies can be. Can you believe they pay lawyers for this nonsense?

***FOR DUMMIES® is a registered trademark of Wiley Publishing, Inc.
