This is so that when the book is opened out, the whitespace outside columns of text appears equal. If you look at published books you will see that this is so. Of course the type of binding can affect how well that book can open out and this may mean that the inner margins need to compensate for this by being increased a little. But the visible width of the two inner margins should still look equal to one outer margin
