On my covers I have the title, author and a synopsis (from a custom column). It works up to a point but only if I keep the synopsis really short and/or make the font size tiny. There's plenty of room on the cover for more text but it seem restricted by the margin size.

I tried the Generate Cover plug-in but that didn't help with this issue. Does anyone know of another plug-in or way to develop a custom cover layout?

EDIT: I meant to say that I'm generating books from the DOS command line, so it's the default book cover that I guess I need to change.

Many thanks!
Have you considered putting the synopsis in a 'jacket' page, the Polish feature can add a jacket page, IIRC Polish can be used from the command line.
