For something bound more restrictively, like staple binding, you need a much bigger inner margin so you can see the beginnings of lines on odd number pages and ends of lines on even number pages. Then specify a sufficient binding correction as I wrote (e.g. 1cm). The binding correction is exactly the space you need to be able to bind it, e.g. as staple binding. regards Uwe

For something bound more restrictively, like staple binding, you need a much bigger inner margin so you can see the beginnings of lines on odd number pages and ends of lines on even number pages. You can set the margins with the Book document class also, and probably all of them. From within LyX, Document->Settings->Page_Margins, then uncheck the Default box and put the desired stuff in Inner and Outer.

It's the opposite: the inner margins of a book is always smaller than the outer ones. I recommend to use the KOMA-script book document class. Then use the document class option "BCOR" to specify the binding correction your need for your book. The other margins will be calculated automatically depending the on the font and the font size of your document. Therefore use the default margins. This method is also used for the LyX user's guide, so have a look at its document settings as example. regards Uwe

Notice that It will ask you for an "Inner margin" and an Outer margin, which is what you asked for.

Re: Setting page margins..
After many trials with Lyx, a friend and I decided to do it directly
in LaTeX in the preamble:
%
\usepackage{anysize}
% Controla los márgenes {izquierda}{derecha}{arriba}{abajo}.
\marginsize{4.5cm}{3cm}{3cm}{3cm}
I don't have any idea as why Lyx is not precise when margins are
changed. Printed region in an even page should be overlapped with that
of an odd page. We had to do it with the code above. Maybe somebody
has a technical answer on this problem. Until then, you can use this
snippet of code.
best regards.

Choose Document -> Settings. Choose "Page Margins" (in left list). Uncheck "Default Margins". Set any as desired. Click Ok or Apply. (Maybe the defaults are good enough already.)
Setting page margins..
Dear LyX users, I have a problem with the definition of the page margins in a LyX document.. In particular, I would like to create a book-style document, where the internal margin is always a bit bigger the the external one so that once I print and bind it, the document will be easily readable. Any clues about how to do it? Thanks in advance!
