Well I am not most people. I use Scribus 1.5.0 for covers because of the LSI PDF X/1-a requirement and also the CMYK requirement, which neither Gimp nor Inkscape can handle. I also found it useful for putting together cover letters etc. as part of a review packet. Newsletters are a natural for Scribus and important, but it also excels for cover art. -- John Culleton, typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
