My help is listed in my sig block below. Cheaper and less trouble 
than InDesign.  Why people using Scribus bother with the LSI 
template is beyond me.  You can draw up your own template after a 
visit to:
http://wexfordpress.net/template.html 

Some authors tell me that they sent LSI a cover in the form of a 
TIFF file and it worked just fine.  Haven't tried it myself but 
maybe I'll experiment.
