Spine Text?
All set with my book --- ISBN, formatting, file uploads --- but have one snafu in Lulu cover wizard. Front cover image uploaded and just fine. Back cover image and text completed and just fine. But ... can't seem to open/find a way to insert text on the spine.
The "old" cover wizard has this function clearly, and is easy to use (I used it on two other projects), but the "new" cover wizard doesn't seem to have the spine/text insert tab/option anywhere.
Assist?
Thanks,

Spine text will be available on the cover during the wizard if the book is over 80 pages long. Otherwise you can't add it. If you see the title and author's name on spine section between the front and back covers then it's working. Double click the text and it will enlarge and then type what you require. If it's not showing then you can't add it unless you make a one piece cover but I'm not sure if that will be accepted if the pages are at 80 or above. Some I think like Amazon require 100 pages.

When Amazon prints books for sell, they use a thinner paper - hence the difference in the minimum number of pages required for printing spine text.
Now you know.
Thanks for the assist. Yes, finally figured out (and found) where it states that spine text requires an 80-page minimum.
I did the quick universal cheat, expanded the font a bit to get well over the 80 pages, and all worked fine.'
Thanks,
