If you want to get it as exacting as possible, I'd recommend using the path
tool, then locking the alpha channel and cloning the edges. I did your book

Fuzzy select the background? Wrong tool to use for the type of image you posted.

Because when I use the fuzzy tool it invariably selects some of the book as
well. I'm sorry to be dense, but none of the methods are

Hi Alex. Can't say I blame you there. I don't know the terms. I've attached

floating image of a book. I know it can be done but for the life of me, I can't
figure it out. I would be so grateful for some help. I've attached an image.
What I would like to be able to do is select the volume in
