On the right, the cover design. Using the mould tool, it gets "mapped" to the front cover area and any necessary recoloring done for the back cover.

IndiSoft, the company that makes the software I use to create stereograms has a product called Cover Professional http://indasoftware.com/coverpro/ which is great for this kind of thing if you do not want to take the small amount of time needed to produce a cover like the one Mike came up with.
Hi SmithMan,
This is a rough sketch, and may be able to get you started seeing the pieces, still needs work.
Tools Used:
Rectangle
Mold Tool
Shape Tool
Clipping Mask
Apply Clip view
Bevel Tool
That looks like a good way to do it to me ZamJam
Here is a quick video tutorial on doing this. The method I used in this video is based on a tutorial that Rik posted a couple of years ago. I've added to the method.
Not that you can't do it with Xara, but I use a 3D software to create a book object with slight curl on the cover and interior exposed pages whenever I want an Ebook cover...
