The book glossary: eight words you meet on the way from a manuscript to a printed book.

Trim · the size the book is cut to
Bleed · ink that runs 0.125″ past the cut
Gutter · the inside margin, set by your page count

#selfpub #booksky

Title card on a dark background: The book glossary. Eight words every self-publisher meets on the way to a printed book, and what each one means for your file.01, Trim: the size the book is cut to, such as 6 by 9 or 5.5 by 8.5. Why it matters: choose it first; margins, page count and the spine follow from it.02, Bleed: ink that runs past the cut, 0.125 inch added to the top, bottom and outside edge, never the spine. Why it matters: only needed if something prints to the edge.03, Gutter: the inside margin nearest the spine, the only margin whose minimum changes with page count: 0.375 inch up to 150 pages, rising to 0.875 inch for the longest books. Why it matters: check it against your final page count.

Your Word file isn't a book yet.

Print asks for six things a document never had:
→ a page size that matches your trim
→ a gutter set by your page count
→ front matter on its proper side of the spread
→ folios
→ page breaks that strand no line
→ embedded fonts
