Just tell me if this suits you. You might want to try it yourself, starting from this very handy <a href="http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=qsg" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a>, and change the documents measures in section 'Step One: Creating a Document and a Page Background' with the Blurb standard you have chosen for your book <a href="http://www.blurb.com/make/pdf_to_book/booksize_calculator" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Remember that you need two files or templates, one for the cover and one for the body. Once you have done your master pages with all the accurate measurements you are almost there! For a much more detailed tutorial on Scribus see <a href="http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=tutorials/freedomyug/scribustutorial" rel="nofollow">this</a>. I hope this is helpful, it is a learning process you have to go through in order to make your own books. Anything, please ask and I will do my best to help you. Good luck.
