ePub by hand question
I hope eventually to be able to produce ePub books by hand from XHTML/CSS rather than use a conversion program. At the moment I'm working through a tutorial by that name sent to me by GRiker for which I'm most grateful.

One thing I don't see in the tutorial however is how to set up a cover graphic for the ebook. I know there is one, since the sample book (The Velveteen Rabbit) has one when opened in ADE.

So where should I look in the sample files to find out how it was done?

Regards, Alex

Since I create my ePUBs by hand, I'll take the liberty of advising you to take a look at them.

I'll second that. I've looked through several of the ePubs from the library here, and Jellby's seem to be among the cleanest/most logically laid out ones.

Thanks to both of you for the suggestion. I have been vaguely thinking about looking at what other people do (just like I did with websites) but now I'll get into it properly.

Regards, Alex
