*Generate a barcode 1.833 x 1" and place it at the bottom right corner of the back cover at least 0.375" from the spine and bottom edge of the cover. For more info on generating barcodes, see http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/.
If including the retail price, it must exactly match the retail price that was set for Distribution. Likewise, do not add a UK retail price to the cover as this number will be converted by Lulu and will not match what was set. If the retail price does not match, it will be removed. If you do not meet these requirements, the availability of the book to online retailers will be delayed for several days, possibly weeks!
**The barcodes added to Publisher Grade and Standard books are for the manufacturing process. When creating cover images or a one-piece cover for Publisher Grade books do not add a barcode. If you do, the book will not print.
