Lulu.com ISO RA5 Sized Paperback Book Cover

This paperback cover template corresponds to the
Lulu.com A5 Sized Book template.

DISCLAIMER: This paper is not really ISO shaped, but I labelled and tagged it as such, because it is directly connected to specific ISO books.

Lulu.com did a poor job of creating templates with metric measurements. They basically started with "US measurements", and then converted to metric. I decided to create the templates from scratch, using actual metric measurements, and giving reasonable sizes. You should find that these measurements to be very precise, especially compared to Lulu.com's version.

I have provided this on my own, on a voluntary basis. Lulu.com bears no responsibility. I downloaded the Word version of the Lulu.com template, and hand converted it to an OTG template. If you downloaded the Word template, and opened it with OO.o, then you'd see that it isn't exactly the same as mine. I made it as similar as possible, but made judgement calls, because OO.o wouldn't use 3 decimal places.

For further instructions on how to adjust the spine width, read the front cover in the template.

After you examine or try this template, please fill in a satisfaction survey for me, so that I can get some good feedback, and then make improvements.

At the time of writing, the original Lulu.com template was available at Lulu.com's book publishing section, and it came with instructions.

There aren't enough ODF templates out there. For more information on my attempts to create a lot of complete sets of ODF templates, read my blog entries about templates.
