Advanced Book Jacket - Spine and Flaps

[sugrue]

I have just started my first book and plan on creating all of my pages in Photoshop and bringing them in to BM as full bleed pages. I am currently using the "Just Pages" style and have a question about the cover. Using Advanced Book Jacket, I am able to bring in full bleed images from Photoshop for both the front and back covers. However, I don't appear to have much control over the spine and the 2 flaps. It appears that all I can put on the spine is text. On the front flap, I have a spot for 1 picture and 3 boxes for text; on the back flap, I have 1 spot for a picture and 1 for text.

Is there anyway to have more control over the spine and the flaps, such as I have over the front and back covers?

Thanks for any help,
Jack

Hi Jack - we are working to expand the options, but at this time, these are the only ones available. They all have text boxes, I'm afriad.

For those who have PhotoShop or other editing software and access to a photo lab that offers affordable large format prints, you can easily create your own custom book jacket cover.

Using the measurements from the current MyPublisher dust jacket, set up your Photoshop (or other photo editing program) document with the same specs. Do your design magic, have it printed on 20x30 high gloss photo paper, then cut it and have it UV coated at your local printer/copy shop (our local printer does this for just $6), and finally just fold it around the book!

This is a little more time consuming and adds another $20-40 to the bottomline (depending on 20x30 print price), but it produces a much nicer, fully customizeable cover. And well worth it if you're not satisfied with MyPublisher's current dust jacket options. (Hopefully this will prompt MyPublisher to get more cover options added more quickly!)
