How do I make a 3D book and CD image from book cover

Hi I am sure people here must be able to do this.

This page http://conqueringstress.com/
has an example of a 3D book that I would like to know how to make on GIMP or through some other means starting from a square 1D cover.

I would also like to know how to make a good CD image from a square book cover:

This isn't a great example because it doesn't show image transfer to CD without distortion:

but you get the general idea.

Thanks In Advance

Try looking at Filters>Map>Map object, you can put different images on the faces of a cube and manipulate the size of the cube (other shapes available as well.

Sorry didn't really understand that, although it did put quite an attractive white glow around the top left hand corner of my picture that I am keen to play with on an effects level, but I didn't understand how to make a CD or 3D ebook out of image using that technique?

This will get you part of the way.

I think this type of image is best done with inkscape see: http://screencasters.heathenx.org/episode-037/ and the repeating CD discs are easily made with 'create tiled clones'. - For Gimp, I would say copy and paste and a bit of time.
