This video takes you through the process of setting a file in Adobe Illustrator for a 4" (width) x 5" (height) book which is meant to be printed as well as an ePub cover. This book cover is being applied to a 16-page book which will be saddle stitched. Because the page count is only 16 pages a spine is not needed.
