What this PSD Book Cover Template Is Not
Cover designers should be made aware that the front, spine and back book covers are not color-proofed. This PSD also lacks a trim line, bleed and safety line. The front and back book covers are intended for rendering a digital proxy of your 6X9 book with the PSDCovers plugin for Photoshop.
That said, this book template is otherwise a typical PSD design which you can use for whatever purpose you’d like.

Our spinnable player is an open source web app which allows you to click and drag your books to spin within your browser. The spinnable player is provided as open source and has a number of customization parameters which can be configured to your desired use.
For example, the spinnable player can be configured to auto-spin your books when a visitor opens your web page, or it can be configured to work like a slideshow tool. Users who choose to render mockups with our JSX Scripts cannot generate spinnable players.
Spinnable players can only be generated with the PSD Covers panel for Photoshop.
