Probably you need to see a book already bound like you will get. mark
a line on the pages where the limits are for what you can see easily
near the inside then dismantle the book and see where that is.
Text shouldn't be a problem to position but maybe you have to choose a
picture carefully or cheat it so nothing important is buried in the
gutter.
