i'm not sure if there is a universal template for a book jacket since all books have a different amount of pages...
but i just recently found out that most Novels use the Golden Ratio for determining the dimensions. (golden ratio = 1.61803399)
yeh...well im pretty sure penguin fiction novels have a standard size, i just found this.
Paperback sizes in common usage
Media Size Description Comment x(pt) y(pt)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
w314h504 Small paperback 111mm x 178mm 314 504
w314h513 Penguin small paperback 111mm x 181mm 314 513
w365h561 Penguin large paperback 129mm x 198mm 365 561
Other than that im sure it varies by publisher, ive got another non-fiction one to do but it can be pretty much any size, although i will use a popular convention most likely.
