True Also, the current 'covers' are sized for A4 and expected to be part of a PDF file. You're right the layout didn't account for an ISBN block per se. Not to mention the other differences for a print job: Page format changes (at least as I look to the books currently printed there) to US Trade (smaller than A4) Bleeding edges for full page graphics Single cover file (front, spine, back) ISBN block etc This is really, really, early for covers here I know - none the less - accounting for the printer's needs now wouldn't hurt - but it is too soon to try and generate the actual printer cover file IMO. I am not sure, but I believe that you have been stuck handling all that conversion from what was good for the PDF file to what was needed for a commercial printer, so please keep up the nudges on that. > > We can continue publishing print books on Lulu and selling them only through > the Lulu store without meeting those requirements or even having an ISBN. > That’s certainly easier, and means the books are cheaper (about 60% of the > price). > > Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
