Not sure if I missed an official announcement here on the list, but John's E-book on using Scribus to design press-ready book covers is available for purchase. Best $5.95 I ever spent on Scribus info! For my publishing company's first book, we hired a professional cover designer. But I have a couple short-run niche market books in the pipeline, and can't afford that. I had a bunch of questions, and this 32 page E-book answered them all.
John's cover calculator is pretty cool in itself: http://wexfordpress.net/template.html but I wasn't quite sure what to do next with all the data it generated. No problems now, and am burning the midnight oil on a new cover after downloading and poring over the book for a few hours. Good job! I've never met John and have no affiliation with him or Wexford Press, this is just a review. But I'd buy him a beer if we ever met in person; this beginner's guide should save me from some serious hassles.
