Re: Even and odd page-margins [slightly OT]

Hi, Rick:

> With the wider margin always falling on the binding spine.

Just for the record...

According to essentially every example in Robert Bringhurst's amazing  
book, "The Elements of Typographic Style", the internal (spine)  
gutter should be smaller than the outside (page edge) margin. [There  
may even be a rule-of-thumb written in there, but I don't have time  
to scan the text right now...]

I realise it's not always practical to do that, but to my eye it's  
the correct choice -- when possible, I follow that guideline in all  
my publications (including musical scores).

Best wishes,
Kieren.
