Lulu offers advanced users the ability to upload one-piece (wrap-around) covers for most books that have spines (casewrap, perfect bound, and jackets for hardcovers). To use this feature, click the >One-piece cover (advanced)< button at the top of the cover wizard.

• Lulu accepts only PDF files for one-piece covers.
• Match the dimensions provided during the cover step of the publishing process, or your cover will not print as expected.
• Do not include crop marks on your cover PDF.

If you already prepared your manuscript and know its size and page count, you can use this spine size calculator to determine the width of the spine.
