Book Jacket Page Dimensions

[kcwebbah]

I am interested in creating a custom book jacket using a photoshop page design. What are the dimensions of the front and back covers? I remember seeing somewhere on these forums the dimensions of full bleed pages for classic and deluxe books. Is there similar info for the jackets available?

Use the same dimentions for the covers and you will be fine.

I use for Classic: 11.315" W x 8.545" H at 200 dpi, 2263 x 1709 resolution.
Deluxe: 14.63"W x 11.3" H at 200 dpi, 2633 x 2034 resolution.

I set up these dimentions in Photoshop and use the same dimentions for all the pictures in my book from Cover to multi picture pages. The software does your adjusting for you.

If you set up a Classic and at the last minute decide to do a Deluxe, don't worry. Your pictures will be adjusted for you and the book will print just fine. You can verify your edges by using the Move tool in the software. You shouldn't have much cut off if any. I end up using the Classic dimentions for everything. So far, I've made 15 Deluxe and 5 Classic and they have all printed beautifully. Be sure you do all your photo processing before you bring it into the Bookmaker software and you will be more satisfied with the results.

Some want to print at 350 dpi which is fine but it only makes your upload file size larger and the software reduces it back down.
