Probably you need to see a book already bound like you will get. mark a line on the pages where the limits are for what you can see easily near the inside then dismantle the book and see where that is. Text shouldn't be a problem to position but maybe you have to choose a picture carefully or cheat it so nothing important is buried in the gutter. regards mick
