help - spine centered figure

["Ciro A. Soto" <cirosoto@ameritech.net>]

Hello all,

I am reading a beautifully designed book called
'Boodbye Gutenberg", and it gave me inspiration to
change the design of my self-published novel. However,
I wonder if with my limited knowledge in Contet I can
make it happen. Here it is:

Version 1: The text is standard, justified both sides.

When the reader opens the book I want him/her to see a
background light-gray picture centered in the spine of
the book from the top of the page to the bottom. (The
picture is a guitar with the strings along the spine),
I would like half of the guitar in the left page, and
half in the other page. In other words,
there would be a bleeding picture to the right of the
left page, and a bleeding picture to the left of the
right page. The text would be black, and the guitar
would be seen as background. I know it is difficult to
follow my explanation, but I hope you understand. 

Version 2: The text is wrapped around the figure, that
is, each line in the left page is left justified, but
ends at the border of the picture. And each line in
the right page is right justified, but begins at the
border of the picture.

I am hoping to get the version 1.  The other version
is like an exercise for me, to see how it would be
done.

I have tried with layers for the background picture,
and it works, but I don't know how to tell Context to
use alternative pictures, one for the left pages,
another for the right pages. My apologies for the
length ...

thank you

ciro
