Leave at least .5" margins on all your pages. You should also have a
additional gutter of .25” on the spine edge of the page. A gutter
provides a little bit of extra margin on the spine edge of your pages,
making your book easier to read without putting too much stress on the
spine.
This means that all images and text, including headers and footers have to be with in these margins, or they risk being cut in the trimming process.
