Hi, Julian
I uploaded to github a cover I designed and created with ConTeXt some time
ago for a book I typesetted called “Cultivando o bem” for a buddhist
organization.
It is quite a complete example and illustrates the power of ConTeXt.
The comments in the code are sparse and not exactly detailed as you wish,
but I hope it will be useful to you.
My OS is linux and I use a Makefile to generate all the necessary files.
You can access the code at:

Greetings
Marcus Vinicius

probably don't need the lengthy explanation but the summary of code is most
helpful - except that it is not about a book cover:-)

I need a bit of guidance for a book cover, and an example might help.
