What are the actual dimensions (height and width) of a Lulu cover template in 'Pocketbook' size, including bleed space? Thanks

Welcome to the forum, aitch!
For paperbacks it looks like this: You can see (")
trime size 4.25 x 6.875 with bleed 8.88 x 7.125 (should probably be 7.125 x 8.88)
or with metric measures (mm)
trime size 108 x 175 with bleed 226 x 181 (shoul be 181 x 226)
The purple part may be different; here it is for 100 pages.

Actual Height size will depend on what kind of book you are creating, paperback or hardcover. Hardcovers require the cover to be slightly larger so it can wrap around the edges. Actual Width size will again depend on whether it is a paperback or hardcover. Additionally it will depend on how many pages your book has as well as what kind of binding you choose. You can calculate the numbers yourself manually if you wish from the details supplied in Lulu's Book Creation Guide. An easier option is to let Lulu do the hard work for you. After uploading your book (either finished or with the correct number of blank pages before you start) Lulu will generate a Template for you with all the dimensions you need.

Ijf you use the link provided by Benziger you will find templates for a variety of different creation tools such as InDesign and Photoshop.
Well done Lulu.
