Gutter Margin: Margin on the "inside" of a printed book page. When books are printed, the margin on the inside is usually larger to allow for easy book handling. We assure your gutter margin when making plates for printing, free of charge.
From: ANSI/NISO/LBI STANDARD FOR LIBRARY BINDING - (inner margin, gutter margin, back margin)  The distance between the binding edge of a printed page and the printed area.

Header (in text/manuscript): Line of information that is the first text on the top of the page. Many times includes title and/or author. Click here for more information. | See also head/header in binding.

Terms marked with an asterisk (*) are not generally used in our office.

Consider adding more things besides black and white photos! By adding a disk or USB drive, you can add all sorts of media directly in the book. By maintaining a free web site/blog/social networking profile you can share color photos, video, etc.
