Creating a Book Cover

As I was browsing articles on Galleycat.Com, I found this video - How to create a book cover - which condenses a 6 hour long process of creating a book cover into a mere 2 minutes for your viewing pleasure. Of course, not all book covers are created from scratch in photoshop like this one. But it gives you a peek into the creative process, and again, leaves me yearning something awful for a job in publishing.
