Q: What are the specifications for an iBook front cover?

Hi,

 

I'm preparing to publish an iBook and I'm struggling to find information about the specifications for the front cover of the book - I'm aware there are specific requirements.

 

Any help would be appreciated plus a link to any 'official' information from Apple.

 

Thanks.

    Hello ChristiSista,

     

    Thank you for the question.  The following article provides answers to some common publishing questions.  The requirements for the front cover are not included, but you can find additional assistance by reviewing the section titled "I cannot find the answer to my question. Where can I get additional help?"

    Sheila M - if you read this... I  really see no point in your post, you do not attempt to  give advice, just a link - to I cannot find the answer to my question and a bunch of FAQs.   If the  FAQs do not give the answer...( And  the page you offer - does not)  it means the op is left floundering and more confused.


    The majority of questions are posted only after attempts are made to find answers and  to be frank I find  trawling around Apples support pages and links - not  very  effective or reliable in most cases.

     

    The link you provide does not  give any information on the ops question - leaving  only a choice of "contact support".

    I thought these support groups are to take the strain of support by assisting  newer memebers with advice , help and information and leaving support staff to deal with other issues.

     

    The answer to the question  - at the least - should be in the help files under Graphics and Media..... but it is not!
