In that case, I'd just use a flag. The flag code considers anything recognizable as an American flag to be an American flag, and bans it in advertising (this is, uh, widely ignored by most people. But I'm not most people.)

Wait, just advertising? Because if it is, then you could use the flag on the cover of the actual book, but use a modified image on websites and in ads. For example, you could have artwork of someone using the flag as a bindle on the cover, but have the bindle just be standard red-and-white checkered cloth on the image you advertise with.

Which is probably too much trouble, but I thought the idea was worth mentioning. After all, the book itself isn't advertising; it's art.

That's an interesting argument. I'm pretty sure that book covers are product packaging, though. I have something else I'm tooling around with now (see above) with a railroad and some red, white and blue lettering.
