Hi Marcus,
That is very good of you, and a good example of 'cultivando o bem'!
Parabéns!
I have downloaded the code. My OS is also Linux. I shall take a good
look at it.
Thank you,
Julian

Hi, Julian
I uploaded to github a cover I designed and created with ConTeXt some
time ago for a book I typesetted called “Cultivando o bem” for a
buddhist organization.
It is quite a complete example and illustrates the power of ConTeXt.
The comments in the code are sparse and not exactly detailed as you
wish, but I hope it will be useful to you.
My OS is linux and I use a Makefile to generate all the necessary files.
You can access the code at:

Greetings

code is most helpful - except that it is not about a book cover:-)

might help.
