Book View Bug - Oh My!

Priority: Really Low....

So I was playing with adding text to my SVG cover and used the code below. It displays fine in Preview, but only the image displays in Book View. Scrolling doesn't effect anything.

Is it bad code, or a bug?

Code:

<body style="margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; background-color:white">
  <h1 style="display:none" title="Cover"></h1>

  <div style="margin:0; padding:0">
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" width="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 605 745" style="font-size:2em" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

<text text-anchor="middle" x="302" y="-2em" style="fill:red;">
    <tspan>Book Title</tspan>
<tspan x="302" dy="1.5em">Short Stories</tspan>
    
  </text>
        <image width="605" height="605" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpg"/>

    </svg>
  </div>
</body>

Thanks!

edit: It should display with the two lines of text centered above the image.

If the viewbox is 0,0,605,745, what does a negative y="-2em" mean? Should that be a dy?

The y=-2em is with respect to the text-anchor...if I understand it correctly. y="-2em" was how I got the text to appear above the <image>. Then the dy for the second line of text bumped it down to the next line...with respect to the first line...still above the image. I tried using a y=-340, y=-40, y=0, etc. and they didn't seem to work in conjunction with the text-anchor="middle". The -2em DID work in preview, but not in bookview.

It very well may be bad coding...I'm just not seeing how it should be different.
