The gutter of a book is the section of paper which is physically 'sucked in' to the binding area and glued. It is wholly non-visible to the reader. As an author, you need to account for that 'lost paper' when you set up the layout for the book.
In this video, I explain what a book gutter margin is. I then show step by step how to create the alternating left-right-left-right gutter margin using Microsoft Word.
Ask with any questions!
Let me know what other book publishing topics you'd like me to cover.

I'm glad to be a help :). Book gutters are fairly foundational to book layout.

Great video, just what I needed starting out. One question. For setting Left/Right gutters for multiple pages, instead of messing with the Header Settings "Different Odd & Even Pages," why not back in the Layout/Margins/Page Setup window Margins Tab, under Pages where it says Multiple pages, just set that to Mirror Margins?

Wow, I never thought about any of that. I don't use word, but I was curious how this would work in other software. In Affinity Publisher you set up a Master Page as a 2 page spread, and then set the inner and outer margins. Adobe InDesign uses the gutter value for the space between 2 columns of text, and just the inner and outer margins. Now I know. Thanks Lisa!
