That would be easier to do in InDesign; I know of no way to do it in PS, other than having two text boxes (That is how I do it in PS)

Backside looks much better; credits looks good. I'm still not sold on the spine paper. Perhaps just have the spine in the same color as the paper?

I think JR's right... you'll probably have to use two separate text boxes for the columns. I don't really use InDesign much, but it is a better program for text layout, although with a little bit of time and patience, you can accomplish what you want to do in PS.

This is a very nice looking cover, Salsa! I love the colors, textures, and images... great work!! :D :D :D

try to keep the same amount of free space all around your two text blocks in the synopsis. Much too crambed now.

But looking better! :)

You have some big gabs in the right text box; you'll need to play around with it some. Sometimes giving a text a fraction of a pt helps, and once printed noone can see if the text is written in 6 pt or 6,1 pt. ;)

You can save some space by making the R (Registered Trademark) sign small thus:
