@JimmXinu: Whether paper books have them up or down is very country dependent. This can certainly be made an option.

The font size is automatically scaled to fit as much of the title as possible. As for wrapping, it doesnt look good, at least to me, and has the problem that it works only if the spine is thick. The length of the title is not correlated with the thickness of the spine, nor should it be. Paper books get away with this because they are physically much larger. A paper book is maybe 8 inches to a foot in length. Books on a shelf on a screen are not and should not be that large, they are typically an inch or two. That said I am not adamantly opposed to wrapping. It's certainly worth experimenting if it can be made to look OK.

The font setting in the template editor is only for the template editor, as the tooltip for that setting indicates.
