: Re: Standard Margins for 6x9 Size Book I'm editing/formatting a book for a client and I've run into a bit of a technical issue--I've never formatted a book for print before and I can't seem to

When I was still in school I remember they had some outline for formatting books for our print department.

For 6x9 I believe it was 0.5" for headers and footers, 0.7" mirrored margin on the top, bottom and right side. The inside margin depends on the page count, I couldn't remember what they were off the top of my head but I was able to find the following:

24-150 pages, 0.375" inside margin
151-400 pages, 0.75" inside margin
400-600 pages, 0.875" inside margin
600+ pages, 1.0" inside margin

Doing some further research online, it looks like my school aligned with CreateSpace's guidelines: timctaylor.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/how-to-set-margins-microsoft-word-vs-createspace-vs-traditional-typesetting/
