Max, It does intuitively seem like the inner margins should be larger so the text is centered on the visible page after binding. However, some books have larger margins on the page edge. Perhaps for motes? I've seen both in the technical books I have. I suspect it's a page layout decision without a single answer. Rich -- Dr. Richard B.
