Author
Supplied Cover Art:
You can provide your own art work, however,
it should be to to the following specifications:
Cover
images must be 300 dpi minimum TIFF files
in CMYK mode. Covers must be .250 bigger
than finished size of the book all around.
5.25 x 8.25" book sizes require cover
art to be 5.5 x 8.5".
To
determine the "Spine Thickness"
take half the page count to determine
the number of sheets of paper and multiply
that by .0041. Example a 150 page book
has 75 sheets of paper. 75 x .0041 = .307.
.307" is the spine thickness.
The
final TIFF graphics file you send us should
contain the front, back and spine in one
file.
Using the example above the final TIFF
file would be 11.307 inches wide by 8.5
inches tall. Please make sure you leave
adequate margins to allow for the edges
to be trimmed off and appropriate placement
of your art work.
Don't forget to leave enough room for
the bar code on the back cover. You should
leave a space approximately 2 inches wide
by 1.5 inches tall. When complete and
ready to submit, please zip it and email
it to authorservices@ebookstand.com or
contact us for FTP instructions.
