but how does accusing a company (or indeed an individual) of using a copyrighted image without permission on the cover of an unquestionably commercial release (the TARDIS) not constitute libel?
This is a direct misrepresentation of my words. I clearly stated that I would like OP (or indeed anyone else) to explain how it fit with the copyright. I did not state that it does not. I do not understand how it does and asked for a clarification. Asking for clarification is not an accusation.
As for your explanation, firstly, I do not believe vespiforms are trademarked. In fact, I first thought that this is an image of a Zarbi, which indeed proves that this is an image of a generic insect. Neither are vespiforms characteristic of Doctor Who Insects. A police box, on the other hand, is as you admit trademarked by the BBC and is immediately associated with the show.
Forgive me for saying this, but I find the idea that this unauthorised poem book is an academic publication laughable. I do academic publications for a living. Academic publications involve research. Reader's Digest is not research, even when rhymed. But if you are in doubt that this is a commercial project rather than a scholarly endeavour, suffice it to say that James Wylder also released a deluxe version of this book (ISBN-10: 1-5001-9718-1; ISBN-13: 978-1-5001-9718-6). The Deluxe edition has a recommended price of $40 instead of $25 and was released at the same time. Academic projects do not have deluxe editions, unlike commercial ones.
