How to set up page for a BookCover in PAGEMAKER

[freekshow09]

What do I do to set up my work page for a Book Cover?
I am not sure how to set it up for the spine and is the book cover a larger width and length than the text pages would be.
Just some helpful hints on setting up the page before I import a picture would be greatly appreciated! [sig][/sig]
