When I designed the cover I had a look at a simular book with roughly the same page numbers and stock thickness, kind of guessed that I would get about 5mm spine depth on my cover, the printers also advised roughly this depth when i went to pick up the proof. This would allow me roughly about 3-4mm to work against for the i had to put on the spine.
example of my cover with a 3mm bleed.

Final proof for the books cover. I resized the font at 8pt and put it against it to measure how much smaller it was but it was still over and legible.
